$FDR Park \u2013 Deep South Philly Stroll$

Take a walk around FDR Park to explore this century-old treasure of South Philadelphia. The historic park, designed by Olmsted Brothers, is seeing new investment and change for its second century of use. Walk leader Bea Segal will be joined by FDR Park Program Manager, Letha Muth-Kimball to talk about how people use the park and what’s to come. See the new adventure playground, and the new Welcome Center under construction. We will visit one of the public markets that sets up in the park on weekends, and, depending on the size of our group, walk to Bellair Manor and the former golf course.
