Family Hike at FDR Park
April 27 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Join Fairmount Park Conservancy for a walk through South Philadelphia’s FDR Park. Event will take place on April 27 (rain or shine) from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Learn about Philly’s only Olmsted park now home to the largest swing set in North America. Hear how the FDR Park Plan – a bold vision to reimagine the park for 21st Century Philadelphians – drives economic and community development, tourism, recreation, and climate resiliency. The terrain is easy, but you will definitely get your steps in. You will see newly installed wetlands, historic buildings, playgrounds, future sport fields and a very unique and beloved skate park. The tour will conclude at the Southeast Asian Market and with dozens of vendors selling food, clothing, drinks and toys, there is something for everyone.
Register here.
We suggest you enter the park at the corner of Pattison and S. 20th Street and take a left into the parking lot (which may be crowded, so be sure to leave some extra time). Meet on Boathouse steps. 1900 Pattison Ave, Philadelphia 19145
