Become a Friend of Sister Cities Park

Since 2012, when the Center City District transformed an empty, open space at 18th Street and Benjamin Franklin Parkway into a unique family-friendly park, this 1.3-acre oasis has welcomed thousands of children to its fountain, wading pond, and Children's Discovery Garden, sustained a 6,000-square-foot pollinator garden alive with native birds, bees, and butterflies, and offered a peaceful respite for neighbors, workers, and visitors.

None of this happens by accident. The planting, programming and maintenance of this gem of a park depends on the ongoing support of people who believe, as we do, that a great city deserves great public spaces. That is why we are inviting you to make a gift to the Center City District Foundation to become a Friend of Sister Cities Park.

As a Park Friend, you will:

• Support the programming, planting and maintenance of this beloved park
• Be the first to hear about park events and enhancements in an email newsletter
• Enjoy a 10% discounts at Sister Cities Park Café
• Receive an invitation to an exclusive Friends event
• Have opportunities to participate in park research and surveys

As a Friend of Sister Cities Park, you will be part of a caring community helping this small but mighty park thrive. Your investment will sustain a major destination for visitors to cultural institutions on the Parkway and help keep families with young children in the city.

We are grateful for your support and look forward to welcoming you at our next Friends event in the park.
