The grant provides the resources required to bring together community stakeholders and a professional landscape designer to create a long-term revitalization plan and capital strategy to ensure Clark Park's future. A community-based Steering Committee comprised of representatives of the UCD, Friends, Philadelphia Department of Recreation, area civic organizations, and elected officials meets monthly to ensure that the neighborhood's needs and desires are paramount in the planning process.
Public input is integral to the success of any park and recreation improvement project.
To this end, a series of five public neighborhood meetings are being held. The first meeting on January 18th drew more than 80 people to suggest and discuss desired park enhancements. The Draft Plan review period runs from April 20 to May 16. Or, you can download a copy of the Draft Master Plan below. Eddie R. Battle Associates, Inc. of Mt. Airy, will facilitate the sessions, as well as conduct later interviews of key persons.
