| PARKS The Friends of Hart Park had a very productive 2010. In March, FOH selected by the Community Design Collaborative for a service grant that allowed the community to work with landscape designers to begin thinking about a conceptual redesign of the park and playground.With the support of Parks Revitalization and Councilman Clarke's office, The Neighborhood Picnic Potluck series returned with music by Los Malitos and The Spice Route, alternative Latin and Middle Eastern bands respectively (sadly, FOHP fav the Jeffhouse band was rained out).The first of a long talked about movie night, something the group would like to see more of in 2011, came together in October. From "LOVE Your Park" in the Spring and continuing throughout the Summer, neighbors really stepped up their efforts in maintaining the park and it looked better than ever all season long.In November, in recognition of these efforts, Hart Park was awarded a grant from the William Penn Foundation and Philadelphia Green called Inspiring Transformation, for funds and assistance from PHS that can be used to begin improving and transforming the park into a greener and more inviting place. |
