Mission

Fairmount Park Conservancy exists to champion Philadelphia's parks. We lead capital projects and historic preservation efforts, foster neighborhood park stewardship, attract and leverage investments, and develop innovative programs throughout the 10,200 acres that include Fairmount Park and more than 200 neighborhood parks around the city.

What We Do

The Conservancy works in three primary ways to make Philadelphia's parks better:
1) We activate the parks by designing innovative programs and amenities that bring people from all walks of life together in our city's common spaces for exercise, entertainment, education and rejuvenation. We help make the parks a destination.
2) We improve thousands of acres of public lands and the structures within them. Our projects include restoration and preservation of natural lands and historic buildings as well as new construction on sports fields, trails, neighborhood parks, and playgrounds. We partner with the city in stewarding Philadelphia's 10,200 acres of parkland.
3) We engage with communities all over the city to enrich our park programs and investments. We leverage volunteers and private funding to make our public parks even better.
