A Park for Everyone

FDR Park is South Philadelphia’s largest park and one of its most important public institutions, reflecting the remarkable racial, cultural, and economic diversity of South Philadelphia.

Its lakes, architecture, athletic fields, and nature trails create a civic commons where Philadelphians of all backgrounds can recreate, experience nature, and enjoy the cultural expressions of South Philadelphia.

The Friends of FDR Park is a community-led nonprofit organization dedicated to stewarding and advocating for FDR Park. We are committed to achieving our vision of building one of the greatest urban parks in America, rooted in the ideals of diversity, inclusion, and environmental sustainability.
