Fairmount Park Conservancy
Fairmount Park Conservancy brings parks to life. We work with the City of Philadelphia and its communities to steward our parks and nurture our shared environment, cultural resources and public health. In partnership with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, Fairmount Park Conservancy led the Park Planning process for FDR Park between 2018 and 2019. During the planning process, the project team spoke to nearly 3,000 community members and stakeholders with 1200+ survey respondents, translations in 7 different languages, 5 paid Park Ambassadors, 30+ stakeholder interviews, 3 community meetings and 7 community design workshops. The FDR Park Plan offers the opportunity to reimagine a historic Olmsted Park to serve 21st century Philadelphians and generations to come. To achieve this vision, the Park Plan brings nature, water, and human activity into balance.
