Cobbs Creek Nature Playground Ribbon Cutting

On May 31, Rebuild Philadelphia joined Councilmember Jamie Gauthier, Speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives Rep. Joanna McClinton, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, and community members to cut the ribbon on the brand new, $1.6M nature playground in Cobbs Creek.
This playground is part of over $25,000,000 being invested by Rebuild the Cobbs Creek section of Philadelphia.
The improvements at Cobbs Creek include:
- New nature-themed, solid wood, play equipment including swings, climbing, colorful play mounds, and water misters to foster imaginative play.
- Safety surfaces
- Water fountain
- Newly planted trees
- On-site seating (made from refurbished tree stumps and logs)
- Lawn area
- Concrete walking paths
- Updated signage and trash receptacles
- Pedestrian lighting and security cameras
- Puzzle walls and textured turtle play equipment
- Interactive panels at low eyesight for children and a literacy wall
We are so happy that the kiddos can enjoy a new playground for the summer
