Petition: Acquire 3 Vacant Lots For Expansion of Happy Hollow Recreation Center/Playground

We request our Elected Officials, City of Philadelphia Planning Commission and others to work collaboratively to follow through with the City of Philadelphia Transit Oriented Plan 2005-08 to acquire the three vacant lots adjacent to Happy Hollow Recreation Center/Playground for expansion. The lots are located at; 4712, 4714 and 4716 Wayne Ave.

Imagine all the children and adults who will have their lives enriched with these neighborhood treasures.

Positive happenings to uplift my community. Children need safe spaces to play and thrive.

Go for it!

Great proposal.

The lower Germantown neighborhood deserves the best recreational facilities.

Support Happy Hollow!

I would like to see this happen so that my grandchild will have a clean safe playground to go to within walking distance in the neighborhood.

This is wonderful!

Thank you.

This is definitely for the Greater Good. So please approve this measure.

Fully support initiative

That space is greatly needed to add more activities to our playground..

The children deserve as much as we can give them

A must improvement !!!

I agree with expansion and would like to add that the playground itself should primarily be used for the children who have been displaced because of the boxing and meeting areas which were incorporated in the main building for far too long. Along with the expansion, I respectfully request that Mayor Parker consider looking into reinstituting The City of Philadelphia Mayor's Program for free summer day camp that would hire young adults as counselors for our children and bring back the sprinkler pool that has been removed many years ago. With appropriate oversight, our children will have a safe community place to congregate especially during the summer months when school is out. The motto here is remake Happy Hollow into its original staple which is a safe and happy place for the children. Clean it up inside and out from Wayne Avenue to Pulaski Avenue please. Thank you!

Make happyhollow better

Please let this asset to the community be enlarged to give the Community a newer and better recreation center.
