The FPC, together with its partner the Fairmount Park Conservancy, is conducting a study of Walnut Lane Golf Course to examine current conditions and potential future uses.  The community is invited to hear a presentation on the study at a meeting on Thursday, Sept 11 at 7PM at the WB Saul High School, 7100 Henry Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19128.

Funded by the Barra Foundation, the study is considering new recreational uses and environmental improvements that will contribute to the surrounding neighborhoods.  The study consultants, EDAW, inc. will present findings and preliminary recommendations.  Comments and participation will be encouraged.  The meeting will be held in the mulit-purpose room of the main school building.

The city of Philadelphia has hired a consultant to look at possible revenue generating recreational opportunities to take place of the golf course. They asked us if we would like to look at opening a BIKE PARK! Obviously we told them we are interested so now we need to show how serious the biking community is at these meetings. This could be great news for those of us who want to have an area to sharpen our bike riding skills while having tons of fun. This will also provide a safe environment for kids riding their BMX and small mountain bikes!

Please plan to attend and show your support...
