Community Workday at FDR Park

1500 Pattison Avenue &, S Broad St, Philadelphia, PA 19145
July 24th
9:00am – 12:00pm

Join Fairmount Park for a volunteer workday at Pattison Lagoon on Thursday, July 24th, from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM. In 2024, the north area of the lagoon was revitalized—clearing invasive species and trash, and with the help of the Phillies and other groups, planting native trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses to support local wildlife. This year, we need your help to care for and establish these plantings. Join us in making a lasting impact on Pattison Lagoon’s ecosystem. Let’s continue this important work together! This volunteer event is open to all ages and people of all abilities. Anyone interested is welcome to participate. Please use the Anna C. Verna Playground parking lot. Volunteers will be able to select their project, including: * Tree care, weeding & mulching * Soil decompaction * Trash cleanup as needed
