South Philly Review
Money flowing to improve FDR Park
The largest park in South Philly is receiving major contributions to enhance and beautify the area.
FDR Park at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue received $4.5 million in funding for the latest implementation of the FDR Park Master Plan, the Gateway Project.
“Families in South Philadelphia know and rely upon the fresh air and green space at FDR Park,” said City Councilmember Kenyatta Johnson, whose district includes FDR Park. “From family gatherings, to celebrations in the Boathouse or marathon training along the loop road, FDR has something for everyone. Thanks to the new funding announced today, FDR will be on the path to providing visitors 21st century park amenities in a majestic natural setting.”

At last night’s first full meeting of 2021, Lebanon City Council approved a formal application for a $2 million grant that would help underwrite renovations and a police garage as part of the City’s plan to buy the Harrisburg Area Community College building and move City Hall downtown.
The grant would be provided through the Commonwealth’s Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, known as RCAP, and had been tentatively approved last August.
City government offices have been in the Lebanon Municipal Building at 400 S. 8th Street since the 1960s, when they moved there from North 9th Street in downtown.
