Much taking place with more to come in the future.

A group of park enthusiasts who are also major stakeholders in the community with
the desire and the resources to improve the part have banded together to reinvigorate the Friends of F.D.R. organization.

F.D.R. Park is the home of Philadelphia's First Tee, a nationwide golf training program which is ranked first among the over 200 locations across the country.

The American Swedish Historical Museum has art and artifacts from the Swedish settlements of the 1600s as well as an incredible amount of Swedish American artwork.

F.D.R. Park has 20 tennis courts, 8 ball fields, miles of tracks and trails, 5 lakes, and most importantly, green grass.

People tend to think of F.D.R. Park as Packer Park's park, but it is the regional park for South Philadelphia. The more people who take advantage of this, the more we can demand improvements.

Take a look at this external links and get to know this great park in South Philadelphia:
