Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Email the City's Parks and Recreation stewardship office at pprstewardship@phila.gov and ask to be connected with this Friends group. The group's own website no longer works..
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: A 2024 article says the group's festival drew more people to its cleanups, but we found no public sign-up or group contact, so the way in is unclear..
