City Year's Young Heroes joined the Friends of Triangle Park for a garden-tending event to kick off the 2011 spring season. This awesome youth group worked side-by-side with neighborhood volunteers to prune the plants, shrubs and trees at the park so they're ready to grow when the warmer weather finally arrives. We also cleared litter from the park and surrounding streets. Thanks to City Year and all the volunteers who came out to support the effort!!!

The Friends of Triangle Park celebrated another year of accomplishments,  as more than 50 park patrons came out to enjoy food, drinks, and raffle prizes at the 2nd Annual FOTP Fundraiser hosted by Chick's Cafe & Wine Bar. Council Person Frank DiCicco was among the guests in attendance, and he offered up some encouraging words of support. If you weren't able to make it to the fundraiser, you can still make a donation to the park via PayPal or a major credit card by clicking on the "DONATE" link below. All monies will go toward the improvement and ongoing maintenance of the park.

Park Rangers were out on Sat. Oct. 16th to support a fall planting event. All told, we put more than 50 plantlings in the ground to give the park some festive Fall color. Thanks to all who came out to help. It was a great day, and the neighbors really appreciate the wonderful contribution to the park.  For more information about upcoming events at Triangle Park, e-mail info@friendsoftrianglepark.org.

It appears a family of mockingbirds have selected Triangle Park as their nesting place of choice. From what we observed at the July 15 "Weeding and Watering Hole Happy Hour" event, a mother, father and three chicks are making themselves at home in the tree on the Passyunk Ave. side of the park. See below for pictures.

The green space that the Friends of Triangle Park are working to develop is located at the intersection of Christian Street, 6th Street, and Passyunk Avenue on the border of the Bella Vista and Queen Village neighborhoods in Philadelphia, PA.

This land is NOT an official city park. It is privately owned. It is our mission to facilitate the acquisition of the land by the City of Philadelphia so that it can become a park. We need your support to make this happen, so GET INVOLVED!

Our group of supporters have worked very hard over the last year and a half to turn the triangular lot into place where flowers and trees now prosper, but our efforts are just beginning. We need your help to tell your friends, neighbors, and local officials that you do not want this space to return to a vacant trash strewn lot, and you want the space to be acquired by the city.
