Downtown Fremont: A Place to Connect, Communicate, and Celebrate
Our Vision
Every community deserves to have a central Downtown place where people come to connect, communicate, and celebrate. Downtown is the "front porch" of a community where social and economic exchanges take place, celebrations are held, friends run into each other, and cultures mix.

Where is the Downtown Located?
Downtown is 110-acres anchored by Fremont City Hall and within walking distance to the Fremont BART Station. It is located north of Fremont Boulevard, south of Paseo Padre Parkway, west of Mowry Avenue, and east of Walnut Avenue. View the map.

How are We Working to Enhance the Downtown?
The Downtown Community Plan is the blueprint that will guide our work. This provides the development community with the direction and certainty that they need to invest in our community while preserving the goals and vision the community has for the Downtown.
