FDR Park in South Philadelphia is slated for a series of major renovations in the years ahead, including a new Welcome Center and a playground located near the park entrance at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue. The design for both projects has now been completed. They are expected to break ground in 2022, with a targeted opening the following year.

If you live in South Philly, it’s not your imagination: Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park is having a moment.
As COVID-19 restrictions pushed more residents outdoors, many urban parks saw attendance surge and city officials say FDR hit “unprecedented” levels of use. They estimate that park trash collection, one rough measure of usage, increased by 50% since last year in a park that already saw hundreds of thousands of annual visitors by some estimates. More than 900 on-site parking spaces are now regularly maxed out on weekends, and new park volunteers have arrived by the dozens.
