Join the AIA COTE sub-committee on a twilight walking tour on July 9th, 6pm - 8pm. 

Meet Maura McCarthy, FDR Park Conservancy CEO and discover this $250+ million multiphase plan for FDR Park —-Philly’s largest, most public-facing investment in climate resilience to build better, more diverse access for everyone in the city. 

Talk with Maura who believes that great parks save lives. Walk with her and see the infrastructure and stormwater amenities that mitigate the effects of climate change in both the park and the surrounding neighborhoods; learn about this infrastructure which will balance nature and human activity into a world-class public space with more trails, meadows, refuge and respite — while adding state-of-the-art athletic fields for youth and adults elevated above the floodplain. See the construction of a permanent home for the Southeast Asian Market, and a second signature play space, ensuring that multiple generations of park users can enjoy the space simultaneously.

We will be meeting at the boathouse at 5:50pm!
