Downtown Morgan Hill Pop-Up Park
On June 22, after seven years of fun, the Downtown Morgan Hill Pop-Up Park will be dismantled to make way for the construction of the Edes Art Gallery.
The Pop-Up Park, a temporary installation by the City, has provided a space for families to enjoy an interactive area filled with art and funded in partnership with local businesses and community organizations.
Dan McCranie, developer of the Edes Gallery, and owner of Ladera Grill, allowed the City to relocate the Pop-Up Park to the 2nd Street site from its original location on 3rd and Monterey in 2016. The City of Morgan Hill would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to property owner Dan McCranie for hosting the park on his site, and to the many artists, businesses, and community members who have contributed to the creation and maintenance of this community space that has provided a fun and safe environment for our families for the last seven years.
Since the creation of the temporary Pop-up Park, the City has invested in four permanent parks, including the Railroad Park on Depot Street, the Third Street Creek Park behind Ladera Grill, the Nob Hill Trail Park, and the Magical Bridge Playground. As the Pop-Up Park comes to an end, the amenities will be relocated to other spots within the City.
We invite the community to participate in a scavenger hunt to discover the home of your favorite Pop-Up Park features, including the Big Blue Chair.
