The Council Receives Funding To Support Child Development and Literacy in Cobbs Creek Park

Clean Air Council is excited to announce we have been awarded the Play Everywhere Philly Challenge grant from KABOOM! and William Penn Foundation. This grant will support child development and literacy skills by creating play and learning spaces at entrances to Cobbs Creek Park. This project will transform four park entrances to include mural art on the paved trail and areas for children and families to learn and play together. 

The Council has partnered with Amber Art and Design and Tiny WPA to develop, design, and build art and play spaces in the vision of community members. Throughout the next several months we will be gaining inspiration and ideas from residents in order to guide the new play space designs. 

The project team has created a short survey as a starting place to learn more about what Cobbs Creek Park neighbors would like to see included in the design. We invite Cobbs Creek Park users and area neighbors to our first workshop which will include an evening of creativity, story sharing and imagination as we collectively envision and design mural art on trails and play areas for children and families. This free family-friendly event will take place on Wednesday, March 6th from 5-7:30pm at Christy Rec Center, located at 728 S 55th St, Philadelphia, PA 19143.
