The
Clark
Park Plan

For the first time since 2006, the City approved a plan to rejuvenate Clark Park. This new plan includes nature-based playgrounds, a multi-height basketball hoop, a permanent bathroom, and many other improvements to Clark Park. This plan builds on many months of engagement with the West Philly community and Philadelphia Parks and Recreation through many rounds of outreach (both online and live) and numerous community meetings to gather feedback. A huge thank you to Studio Bryan Hanes, the University City District, and all our community members for the hours they have put in to facilitate this process and bring the community vision to life.

Help Us Help the Park

Donate Here

Please support our first fundraising drive for The Plan for Clark Park! Every single donation—no matter how small—shows our community supports The Plan for Clark Park. In addition to helping fund the Clark Park Plan, your donations will go towards:

Cleaning the Park

Funds will provide volunteers with tools and supplies such as rakes, shovels, gloves, and light refreshments for monthly volunteer work days. The funds will also pay for a maintenance contractor to combat rapid trash accumulation when the park is at its busiest by picking up litter and emptying trash cans.

Gardening Program

Your donation will go toward supplying new plants including shrubs and flowers to make the garden plots lush with color and supply volunteers with tools. A professional arborist is regularly hired for major pruning work on the trees.

Usability

Your donation also funds continued projects to help improve how we use the park everyday such as the installation and maintenance of benches, picnic tables, and the chess tables. We also continue to purchase and refresh the orange chairs and tables regularly.
