The park is beloved for its natural habitat, but the City of Philadelphia is ready to turn the more than 340 acre park into an urban oasis.
The City of Philadelphia is committed to revitalizing FDR Park with plans to use just over 25 acres of the 130 acre golf course that's now overgrown and unusable for multi-use sports fields.
Thursday's big announcement that FIFA has selected Philadelphia as a host city for the World Cup in 2026 sparked questions about whether or not FIFA would select FDR's future soccer fields as its practice location. "I think it would be amazing if a portion of those funds raised would go to support a project like this at FDR," said Lovell.
