Permanent chess tables, other updates coming to Clark Park’s North Park

October 20, 2016

The northern section of Clark Park at 43rd and Baltimore (Clark Park “A”) has been under construction this week. The work includes installation of long-awaited permanent chess tables to “replace the ratty units the players now employ,” according to the Friends of Clark Park website, and restoration of the layer of gravel that covers the plaza, which hasn’t been updated since 2009.

A rough estimate of the cost of this project is $15,000, and the funding became possible thanks to Friends of Clark Park membership dollars.

To learn more about this and other projects happening in Clark Park come to the next Friends of Clark Park General Membership Meeting on Monday, Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. at Griffith Hall, USciences (43rd & Kingsessing). Attendance is free and open to all.

    Good news indeed. It would be nice if the lamp bulbs (in park A) could be replaced as well – some of them have gone dark for more than a few months.

    We hope that everyone who is interested in the future development of our West Phil neighborhood will consider getting involved in a new neighborhood organization focused on that issue but with emphasis on residents rather than developers, realtors, and bankers.
