Love Thy Park Tour is currently under a revamp and will be called “Peace and Play Offs!” Please join us throughout this Summer as we kick off this newly revamped event series to bring positive activity, safety, and cleanliness back to our Philadelphia parks!
What Is Love Thy Park?
Throughout Philadelphia there are 300+ playground and recreation centers along with 10,200 acres of public land. The Block Gives Back finds it vital that these playgrounds and recreation centers are up to par and used for the way they are intended too. Therefore, TBGB created the Love Thy Park Tour to bring positive action, activity, and awareness to our local playground and parks. Stopping at one park a month from May to September, TBGB brings cleanings, light TLC, community outlets, and games/activities to parks all across the city.
