 Cultural and Community Center Project
East Phillips community center gets $5,000 from Midtown Phillips NRP grant funding
East Phillips Park rests in the Phillips neighborhood, an area just south of Downtown Minneapolis off of Hiawatha Ave. Residents who live just off of Cedar Ave. call this 6.5 acre park home. There are a lot of activities, especially in the summer. For all of those who enjoy athletics, get involved in a game of basketball or softball. For the kids there is a wonderful playground, as well as a wading pool to cool you down on those hot days!
Phillips is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Minneapolis. Park Ave., a main street in this area, is known for its beautiful historic mansions built by industrialists in the 1920’s. Today many of these mansions have been carefully renovated as new homes to area businesses and nonprofit agencies.
Historical Profile: More information about this and other parks is included in Parks, Lakes, Trails and So Much More, a richly detailed account of the histories of Minneapolis’ renown recreational system.
