Smith is proud to announce that we have been awarded a 2022 Art & Culture Grant from the Philadelphia Cultural Fund (PCF) and received additional grant support from the John B. Gest Memorial Fund of the Philadelphia Foundation. Unlike most other parks in Philadelphia, Smith is a non-profit organization that relies on private donations, grants, and family memberships to support our general operating expenses and programming. We are grateful to have received these two coveted grants, which will help continue Smith’s mission to provide a safe, free space for play for all Philadelphia families.
