Join Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and the Fairmount Park Conservancy for a wetland restoration project at FDR Park's Meadow Lake.
FDR Park is a 350-acre green oasis in deep South Philly. Once a system of tidal channels and marshlands, the park is now a destination- rich with culture, active ballfields, tennis courts, a skatepark, and network of biking paths. The park still supports a series of lakes and wetlands, making it an important bird area and peaceful refuge. Enjoy the beauty of Meadow Lake, while helping to remove invasive plants and litter around its shoreline.
This is an outdoor event, so we may need to cancel in the event of steady rain or thunderstorms. Please check your inbox the week-of for confirmations.
