Gorgas Park
Gorgas Park is pleased to announce many exciting,
green and sustainable developments. There is a farmer’s
market every Friday afternoon featuring locally grown
produce. In addition, Gorgas has recently partnered
with PHS’s Philadelphia Green for a new gardening
initiative. The park has also acquired new low-energy
lighting and a water source at the splendid Gorgas Park
sign. And coming soon, a new safe playground surface
for the popular Tot Lot will be installed.
Gorgas Park continues with its well-loved traditions. The
12th annual East River Bank Concert and Movie Series,
the park’s gazebo, the lovely gardens, the lush trees,
and beautiful vistas continue to excite people of all
ages.
This year the Friends of Gorgas Park celebrated the upgrade of the park’s website, www.gorgaspark.com. The
new site is functional and fun with blogs, videos, and links
to our Facebook and Twitter pages. The concert and
movie schedule is actively displayed on our home page
as well. Additionally, there are links to sign up for
volunteer opportunities and to find information on
obtaining a permit to host a birthday party, picnic, or
wedding.
Gorgas Park is a major asset in the Roxborough
community. In a world where there is increasing volatility
and uncertainty, through the innovation and hard work
of the Friends of Gorgas Park, Gorgas remains a bedrock
of stability in Roxborough.
Please visit www.gorgaspark.com/donations to make
a secure, tax-deductable donation via PayPal to the
Friends of Gorgas Park. It is local business sponsors and
individual contributors that enable Gorgas Park to continue to serve as a source of recreation for Roxborough.
These contributions are the main source of funding for
the park’s gardens, and community events.
