About
Established in 1959, the Sherwood Forest Association mission is to enhance the livability and community cohesiveness of the Sherwood Forest neighborhood, located in Minnetonka, Minnesota. The neighborhood is comprised of more than 265 homes within the Sherwood Forest, Timberline (Fox Hills) and Hilloway Park areas.
Project
We are currently compiling a history of Sherwood Forest. We have the history of the Sherwood Hills Road area presented by early resident Ron Vagemast in Sept 2013. And we want to combine it with the rest of Sherwood Forest's history and present it to the public at the Ridgedale Library some time in 2015. If you would like to help please contact us. More details are on our History page.
Resources
We strive to provide resources for our neighbors which will help them communicate with each other and strengthen our ability to maintain a safe and beautiful neighborhood. And also so that our residents can learn more about their environment and history of our land, and what they can do to help.
Get Involved
In addition to our website, you now have two new ways to keep in touch with what is going on in our neighborhood or to share some news of your own!
City Planning
On January 21st 2015 the City of Minnetonka held a meeting at the Ridgedale Library to discuss their Vision Plan with over one hundred neighbors. The Mayor and two council persons were there to answer questions about the plan with special concerns about the new 6 story high Highland Bank that was recently approved and the added traffic that it will bring.
There is more information in our Announcements here.
Or on the Minnetonka website at
Latest Project
In May 2014 the whole Sherwood Forest neighborhood pulled together to donate the funds and rebuild the iconic Sherwood Forest Entrance sign. It had broken apart from the cold of the previous winter after having stood there on Hopkins Crossroad since the 1950s. See Projects page.
