You’re invited to opine about plans for FDR Park tonight, Wednesday, November 14, from 6-8pm at South Philly High. This is the second of three FDR Park Master Plan community meetings organized by the Fairmount Park Conservancy, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, Friends of FDR Park, and WRT Design.

The Conservancy promises that the meeting will be “a fun, open-house style meeting where you can learn more about the planning process, weigh in on potential scenarios for the future of the park, and get information on events, activities, and resources the park already offers.”

Refreshments, free childcare, and language interpreters will be available.

Spread the word to your neighbors, friends and family!
