“A house was bought, razed, and more parking was created for the church’s weekend services, but Fellowship wanted the neighbors in the area to have a safe place to play together that would benefit the whole neighborhood,” said Michelle Detrick, communications director.
There will be a basketball net, park benches, a picnic table, community gardening beds, and a Little Free Library.
At 1 p.m., one of the benches will be dedicated to Schuyler Mollett’s memory, who was murdered in the parking lot Aug. 8, 2013.
“Our hope is to bring joy and hope to a place where tragedy once struck,” Detrick said.
