Arlington EcoScape
When completed, the new park (to be renamed Arlington EcoScape) will include a pedestrian footbridge that spans a historically significant brook, a small amphitheatre for local gospel concerts, a classroom gazebo, and wheelchair accessible raised sensory gardens. Arlington EcoScape will serve as a horticultural therapy facility for residents of an adjacent nursing home, and as an outdoor classroom for nearby Hemphill Elementary School. A dedication is planned for April 2007.

 In partnership with the College Hills Neighborhood Association, SEC will construct a small pocket park behind the McCoy Center in 2007.  Within walking distance of Birmingham-Southern College, the new College Hills EcoScape will provide the neighborhood with its first community park, and will be utilized as an outdoor classroom by the NorthStar Youth Ministries Program. A dedication is planned for May 2007.
