Here's a great opportunity for people who want to get involved with
how the City of Phila manages parks but who don't trust or are unable/
unwilling to work cooperatively with existing park friends' groups.
From PennFuture's "Next Great City Newsletter"
http://www.pennfuture.org/:
"The Commission on Parks and Recreation is working on creating a set
of proposed guidelines for how to protect Philadelphia’s outdoor
public park and recreational lands, and is developing a draft
ordinance to make that protection binding.
The Commission will be holding a meeting to review the draft ordinance
on September 22 at 6:00 p.m. at the Free Library of Philadelphia,
Central Logan Square Branch, 1901 Vine St."
