People of the Park Ribbon Cutting

February 19, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Free
We are so excited to invite the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford community to join us for the People of the Park Ribbon Cutting.
We will host the first ceremony at the southernmost sign, along the Tacony Creek Park trail right below the gateway at East Tabor Road and East Olney Avenue. The speaking program and ribbon cutting will run from 2pm to 2:30pm.
The first sign honors Maria Vazquez; we will walk to each of the 3 other signs to cut ribbons with the featured people (Thomas & Savannah McHale, Dr. Rhoda Moise, and Seri Chao). It’s about a mile to the furthest sign.
Please register here.

People of the Park is a pilot engagement project that has been part of the Tacony Creek Park Master Plan process. TTF partnered with Olney Culture Lab on this unique, beautiful installation designed to showcase and celebrate stories of diverse residents who have a connection to the park. The Master Plan was funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural ResourcesWilliam Penn Foundation, and the Scattergood Foundation.

Estamos muy emocionados de invitar a la comunidad de Tookany/Tacony-Frankford a reunirse con nosotros para el corte de cinta de People of the Park.
 
Comenzaremos en el letrero más al sur, ubicado a lo largo del sendero Tacony Creek Park, justo debajo de la entrada en East Tabor Road y East Olney Avenue, Filadelfia 19120. Los presentadores y el corte de cinta será de 2pm a 2:30pm.
 
El primer letrero honra a María Vázquez; caminaremos hacia cada uno de los otros 3 letreros y cortaremos las cintas allí con las personas que aparecen (Thomas y Savannah McHale, la Dra. Rhoda Moise y Seri Chao). Será alrededor de una milla para llegar al letrero más lejano.
 
People of the Park es un proyecto piloto de participación que ha sido parte del proceso del Plan Maestro del Parque Tacony Creek. TTF se asoció con Olney Culture Lab en esta hermosa y única instalación diseñada para mostrar y celebrar las historias de diversos residentes que tienen una conexión con el parque. El Plan Maestro fue financiado por el Departamento de Conservación y Recursos Naturales de Pensilvania, la Fundación William Penn y la Fundación Scattergood.
