Gather, Play, Get Outside.
The vision for So-Hi (South of Highway 7) Community Park was born when members at Excelsior United Methodist Church noticed their parking lot was frequently used by neighbors as a community gathering and play space. This realized a felt need in the area and created an idea to build a more functional spot for the community -- all ages -- can come together.
Surrounded by high density housing and no safely accessible public parks, EUMC, together with the city of Excelsior, has designated space on their property for a Community Park, where all are welcome!
So-Hi Community Park's purpose is to provide a safe and ADA accessible space for the neighborhood to gather, play and get outside.
And we need your help as we raise funds to make the So-Hi Community Park a reality for our neighbors.
