In August, 2008, the Philadelphia Recreation Department fixed the benches around the trees. The frames were soldered so they would be good and solid. All the wood slats were replaced.

Cleanups

Philadelphia Cares about Fairmount Park Day, May 17 2008

In partnership with The Fairmount Park Commission, and The Friends of Schuylkill River Park, Greater Philadelphia Cares mobilized volunteers to help beautify and maintain our park.

Special thanks to the volunteers from Price Waterhouse and Building with Books, Philadelphia, without whom we would not have accomplished as much nor had nearly as much fun.

TPS Wall

tps wall
This mosaic was created by students in 3rd-6th grades in Spring 2007*. We first explored the park and playground for inspiration and then divided a long, serpentine drawing of a river into individual panels. Students designed their panels with birds and people from the park, fish and turtles from the river, and other familiar sites. If you step back and look at all of the panels, you can follow the river (often outlined with mirror) across the panels.
The students also designed and planted a butterfly garden that is next to the toddler playground.
*Abby Gordon is a mosaic artist who co-taught the course.
