House of Hope – Hippo Park is located at the back of House of Hope Presbyterian Church in St. Paul, MN. This area faces Portland Avenue, extending north to Interstate 94. This larger neighborhood is diverse both economically and racially.
We envision a disciplined participatory community design process, especially engaging families and children. The process as well as the outcome would create the chance to get to know our neighbors more fully, and realize a common dream. There’s also a metaphorical beauty in engaging people to create shared outdoor space, because there are no walls!
