McMichael Park is so .... vacant this time of year! Where are the kiddos? We look forward to Phase 1 of the park’s beautification, revitalization, and playspace development so we can meet more neighbors in this lovely space.
There are some pretty awesome family events coming up soon! Here are 4 we’re looking forward to: Play-A-Palooza @smithplayground on March 30th, Moana movie at @mcmichaelplayspace on May 11th, Naturepalooza @schuylkillcenter on April 27th and our local Easter Egg Hunt on April 13th @ McDevitt Park.
It’s a safe play zone at McMichael Park now that the wires are gone (although the large trunk will roll over if an adult walks on it 😬). Soon enough we won’t have to rely on storms to bring the kids play structures 😉#woodchips #natureplay #fallentree #balancebeam #woodcookies #outdoorkitchen #playspace #parkbeautification #phillypark #mcmichael #turtlepark #parkimprovements #phillydesign #landscapearchitecture
We are thrilled to announce the big news you’ve all been waiting for! Councilman Curtis Jones, Jr. allocated $250,000 for the construction of the natural playspace at McMichael Park.
