 Construction is moving along, and several key areas of the project have taken shape. We appreciate everyone’s patience as the site continues to transform. Please enjoy this winter update. Interior Progress The auditorium will have a new look thanks to expansive windows that flood the space with natural light and connects the indoors with the surrounding neighborhood.  The interior of the new building addition is quickly transforming. Walls are up the space will soon be defined. Accessibility A new ramp will make the building feel inviting and accessible for all. Exterior Progress  From Rising Sun Avenue, the new windows add architectural interest and offer a glimpse into the revitalized auditorium space.  Crews worked hard to install new brickwork to the building addition. The brickwork blends seamlessly with the existing structure. Walking Loop Construction on the “C” segment (see the yellow line in the map below) of the new Walking Loop is complete! The “C” segment of the loop runs along Lardner St, Hasbrook Ave, and Comly St. We still have a few finishing touches to complete, including planting perimeter trees that will provide shade and cooling, but many neighbors have already started to enjoy this great amenity.  A view of the new walking loop along Hasbrook Ave. Looks great for a quick walk, a stroll with a friend, or a light jog in every season!  Because this portion of the loop curves in the shape of the letter “C,” we’ve been calling it the “C” segment. Follow the yellow line on the map. See how it forms a C? That’s where the name comes from! Lawncrest Pool Update The City of Philadelphia Capital Program Office (CPO) is excited to share the planned improvements for Lawncrest pool and the inclusion of a new sprayground! Construction will begin in early 2026 and is anticipated to be completed in 9 months. Improvements to the pool area will include:
The pool renovations are being managed by the Capital Program Office and designed by Gannett Fleming TranSystems (known as GFT). If you are interested in receiving future updates on the pool project, please email CPO@phila.gov. This project has been supported by Mayor Cherelle L. Parker, Council Member Anthony Phillips, and State Representative Anthony Bellmon.  Designed for families, swimmers, and sun-seekers alike, the pool features lap and leisure areas, an ADA ramp, and plenty of deck space.  Interactive jets, splash elements, and an overflow bucket at the new sprayground are designed to give kids a safe, refreshing, and fun-filled place to cool off all summer long!
