Community Workday at FDR Park
1500 Pattison Avenue &, S Broad St, Philadelphia, PA 19145
August 21st
9:00am – 12:00pm
Join Fairmount Park for a volunteer workday at Pattison Lagoon on Thursday, August 21st, 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, planted 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
Watering
Trash cleanup as needed
