Philadelphia

When the time came to create a long-term vision for Philadelphia’s FDR Park, it was a natural fit for landscape architect Charles Neer ’85 and the team at WRT Design. Charlie leads the Parks and Open Spaces division of WRT and has more than 20 years of experience with designing for parks and urban areas. He serves as Project Manager for the FDR Park re-design. In September, Charlie hosted a behind-the-scenes look at the plans for this project.

FDR park covers 348 acres in south Philadelphia. The Navy Yard and I-95 border the southern end of the park. The completed plan, called “FDR Park Plan: A Resilient Vision for a Historic Park,” is the culmination of extensive time and preparation. This process included numerous community meetings, more than 3,000 constituent interviews, and a hydrology study. The city seeks to achieve three major goals with the plan: restore the park’s function, reclaim the vision for the park, and renew the impact on the city of Philadelphia.
