COMMUNITY GUIDEBOOK PROFILE: New Hope-Solebury Community Association

January 24, 2012 By

The New Hope-Solebury Community Association (CA) was incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation in November 1949, principally to raise funds for the construction of a gymnasium on the grounds of the New Hope-Solebury High School for the use of the students and the community.

The gymnasium was, in fact, erected in 1953 after successful fundraising events and donations from the public. In 1957 the CA financed the addition to the gymnasium building for locker rooms, cafeteria and kitchen facilities. Since that time the CA has continued to support the students and the community by establishing the New Hope Soccer Club for children of all ages, providing scholarships for graduating seniors and sponsoring various youth teams.

In 1977 the CA purchased approximately 17 acres in Solebury Township on which it constructed a Community Center and recreational fields for the benefit of the New Hope and Solebury communities. This facility was donated to the township in 1995 and is now the focal point of their Park and Recreation program. For many years the “Night at the Races” was a popular event and a substantial contributor to the Scholarship Fund.  

The “Track 2002” committee was organized in 2000 with the goal of constructing an all-weather track complex at the New Hope-Solebury High School. The primary purpose was to promote physical fitness and athletics throughout the entire New Hope-Solebury community. Construction was completed in 2005 after successfully raising  $460,000 through various events and donations from sponsors as well as the public.
