A message from the Board of the Friends of FDR:
We have heard from our members that there are concerns about the next phase of the FDR Park Plan
Barb Capozzi, Co-President of the Friends of FDR Park, has been advocating for FDR Park for the last 25 years. In her testimony at Tuesday’s Zoning Board of Adjustment hearing, she said tearing down these heritage trees could be summarized in two words: bad karma. We thought it was a great rallying call so we worked with the talented artist Keith Greiman who designed a shirt inspired by this sentiment.
We hope you enjoy them! Thank you to everyone who has shared their passion and love for FDR Park through meetings, zoning hearings on zoom, and through individual outreach to us!
As a volunteer Board, the last six months have been challenging to navigate, but we have tried to listen and represent the many different perspectives of park users. We believe there is an alternative plan that supports high-quality multi-use fields, basketball courts AND saves 30% of the heritage trees currently slated for removal. This includes a state champion Hornbeam tree - meaning it’s the largest recorded Hornbeam in the state of Pennsylvania.
FDR Park is a truly special place because it means different things to different people, who all love this park so deeply. Please consider supporting our efforts to steward and advocate for an FDR Park that serves everyone
