Join us for the final Tacony Creek Park Master Plan Public Meeting on Wednesday, June 7, from 5-7 pm! Register here.
The Tacony Creek Park Master Plan Draft is here! View the map with the proposed improvements here:
TTF has worked with consultant Natural Lands to develop a plan centered on community input and equity, with the goal of encouraging park use and strengthening connections with communities. Learn more about People of the Park and Explorer Kits, two special projects implemented as part of the Master Plan process.
The plan was developed with the help of an Advisory Committee, and widely shared surveys and focus groups. Many of you, your families, schools, and organizations shared your concerns and idea for the park. You told us your priorities — park improvements, operations, or programs. Your participation is the foundation for a new vision for Tacony Creek Park.
The upcoming Tacony Creek Park Master Plan Public Meeting on Wednesday, June 7, from 5-7 pm is an opportunity for the community to imagine and shape what we want to see for the future of Tacony Creek Park! Share the word and bring along your neighbors and stakeholders. Register here.
