Upcoming Park Improvement Projects
We're excited to see many improvements coming to our 48th ward parks this year and next! Having secured funds for trail repaving and a new playground soft surface at Margate Park, our office is now working on funding a Cochran Park redesign, drainage and sidewalk improvements at the Bryn Mawr dog-friendly area, and a Nature Playspace at Senn Playground.
