Had a great time at Octoberfest at Clark Park, celebrating 1.8 million in state funds I helped secure for the Park Plan!

I was also honored to give away my own hand made wooden bowls, which I carved from the wood of trees at the park. Thanks to everyone who participated in the silent bidding, all proceeds are going to the Woodland Avenue reunion. by @friendsofclarkpark

🪵🪵🪵 WOOD ALERT!!!! 🪵🪵🪵

Friends I am once again putting up some crafts for sale! This time I'm partnering with @friendsofclarkpark to do a silent auction for 6 bowls as part of their Parktoberfest tomorrow.

The cool thing? These pieces were made with sycamore wood from the park's very own trees! Buy a local piece made from your local park by your local rep!

All proceeds will be donated to the Woodland Avenue Reunion Association, which works year-round to bring together multiple generations of community members born and raised in Southwest Philadelphia.

I hope to see you tomorrow! taken in Clark Park by @friendsofclarkpark

Proud to announce I secured another $800,000 in funding for the Clark Park Plan, bringing total grants my office secured for the project up to $2 million!

This Local Share Account award will replace sidewalks throughout the park that are in deep need of repair after decades of heavy use. This will improve traffic flow between park features and accessibility for the park’s many visitors! by @friendsofclarkpark

Gravel Circle Replenishment!

Good news for our petanque players, chess players, and all others who use the gravel circle located between Chester Ave and Baltimore Ave - contractors will be working today to replenish gravel stocks in the circle! It has been many years since the last gravel refresh and The Friends of Clark Park believe this work will benefit all park users. Keep an eye out for fresh gravel in the coming days as you make your way through the park! taken in Clark Park by @friendsofclarkpark
