The Friends of FDR Park is a volunteer organization that works to fund and create programming to bring the park user community together, forge meaningful bonds with our South Philly neighbors, and help this gorgeous urban oasis reach its full potential.

Friends of FDR is part of a citywide network of neighborhood park volunteers coordinated by Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and Fairmount Park Conservancy. Philadelphia Parks & Recreation is responsible for the maintenance and permitting of the park, while the Friends of FDR organize fellow volunteers in planting, greening, fundraising, and event planning.

The Friends of FDR Park meets monthly to dream up new ideas to improve the park! We value all the time and hard work our board members put into cultivating South Philadelphia’s most vibrant community space.
