It's a need park right across from the stadiums. They have a museum, sports fields, a lake, skate park. It seems like anything you can imagine being in a park!

Questions & Answers

How many people have had their car damaged driving into one of the many deep potholes in FDR park? These potholes go unfixed year after year.

Matt , first i didn't say my car was damaged & it's dark down there at night so people who don't know where the potholes are can damage their cars. In fact there is an area where there are so many deep potholes you can't avoid them unless you drive in the bike lane where people walk. I've seen people almost get hit cause people driving were trying to avoid these large holes. And by the way even if you go very slow into a deep pothole you can still damage your car.

I would like to inquire as to what precautions are taken during the Flower Show fireworks display to not disturb the wildlife that call FDR Park home which includes nesting waterfowl.

Josephine Nardi | Jun 30, 2022
Rose Johnston | Jun 30, 2022

I am not sure if it would disturb the wildlife. Since this is a temporary event, hopefully it won't do damage. But, to answer your question, I am not sure. Reaching out to the Philadelphia Horticultural society or Parks Department may supply answers.
