Who We Are Vision We envision an environmentally rich Philadelphia of healthy people with greater personal and community resources; more connected to each other, to their neighborhoods and their government; open to new possibilities; and living with pride and confidence in their city. Mission We advance the prosperity of our city and the progress of her people through intentional and sustained stewardship of public land and waterways as well as through safe, stimulating recreation, environmental and cultural centers. We help Philadelphia’s children and other residents grow by connecting them to the natural world, to each other, and to fun, physical and social opportunities. Core Values
1. Safe, Clean and Ready To Use. We create safe havens for people. We maintain these places to the highest standards so they remain secure, accessible and welcoming for everyone who uses them. We provide public spaces that people are proud to call their own.
2. We Care For Our Natural Resources Because We Care For Each Other. Clean water, healthy forests and open spaces are essential for our mental and physical health. We are proud to be zealous protectors and caretakers of William Penn’s “Greene Country Towne.”
3. The World Needs Play. The more we expose our children and neighbors to fun and enriching experiences, the more opportunities we create for people to learn, connect and share. Whether it’s looking at the tops of the trees, feeling clay ooze through one’s fingers for the first time or immersing oneself in our rich history; we view the creation of these opportunities for personal growth as a core responsibility.
4. We Are Open And Willing Partners. We can’t do this essential work alone, nor can we do it apart. We are all at our best when we work together.
5. We Believe In Others. The greatest impact we can have is to lift the lives of those around us. We believe in the potential of people and work in service of their aspirations. By doing so, we advance their probability for personal growth and success– on their own terms, with their families and within their own neighborhoods.
6. We Never Give Up. We are persistent, creative and resilient. We will use that Philly grit to grow our city into a life force that fosters success.
Central Truth: We Help People Grow, That’s What We Do. Through the stewardship of our natural and cultural resources, the structured activities at our bustling recreation centers and the preservation of our City’s rich history, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation connects people to new pathways in life.

How We Do It Budget In trying to understand PPR’s budget, it is helpful to know where the City of Philadelphia gets funding for its departments. Where Does the City Get Money?
And, as a follow-up question: How Flexible Is the City’s Budget?
(Fiscal Year 2015)

How Does Philadelphia Parks & Recreation Leverage This Funding? Since the operational merger, PPR has raised nearly $34 million in external funding to support Department priorities. Examples of concentrated fundraising include:
• Splash & Summer FUNd (for outdoor pools) $1.7 million • Youth Development/OST $15.4 million • New Urban Green Spaces $14.4 million
What’s a Capital Project? Capital projects can be defined colloquially as big stuff that costs a lot and lasts a while. More formally, they involve the acquisition, construction or improvement of city-owned assets, including: • purchase of land, buildings, equipment or machinery • renovation, rehabilitation, installing or reconstruction Projects must have a life expectancy of more than five years and cost more than $15,000. PPR’s capital budget is separate from its operating budget. How Does PPR’s Capital Budget Compare to Other Departments?

How Long Does a Capital Project Take? Here is an example of a typical capital project timeline.
Who Else Is Involved in a Capital Project?
• Public Property: manages the city’s physical infrastructure (excluding Airport, Water, Streets, SEPTA)
• City Planning Commission: regulates zoning and oversees capital budget • Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation: provides financing and workforce
development programs to city, state, businesses, and non-profits • Art Commission: approval body for the design and location of public buildings, works of art
acquired by the City, and encroachments into/over public right-of-way • Historical Commission: responsible for ensuring the preservation of historically significant
buildings, structures, sites, objects, interiors and districts in Philadelphia

22
Engagement Just as crucial to Philadelphia Parks & Recreation as its City funding are the partnerships with citizens and likeminded organizations that help us maximize our impact in the community. Community Partnerships PPR collaborates with volunteers to help maintain parks and enhance recreation programming. Most citizens help the department by joining a park Friends group or recreation center advisory council, or by providing direct assistance at a rec center.
• Friends groups are community-led organizations primarily established to support and advocate for specific park areas. Friends groups work in close partnership with PPR staff to create welcoming community green spaces and positive experiences with nature at the neighborhood level. Typical Friends group activities include organizing park cleanup and beautification days, hosting fundraising events, providing recreational and educational programming, supporting park improvements, publicizing important issues, resource management and park advocacy.
• The Philadelphia Recreation Advisory Council is a partnership between community members and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation created to support individual recreation centers and playgrounds. Local advisory councils function as liaisons between the facility staff, community and city agencies to assure community input on a regular basis. They work in partnership with staff to serve as a source of volunteer leadership and recruitment, evaluate community reaction to programming, introduce new and innovative programming, as well as to conduct fundraising activities.
In addition, the department works with volunteer groups on single service days and short-term projects. Organizational Partnerships As an open and willing partner, PPR works with organizations large and small to extend its reach, leverage existing funding and improve the city at large. Partners range from parks and recreation support organizations to small user groups to corporate sponsors.
Summary Thank you for your interest in Philadelphia Parks & Recreation. This Pathport is intended to provide basic information on the organizational structure, functions and reach of PPR. We hope this document has helped you “Find Your Path” to a greater understanding of Who We Are, Where We Are and What We Do. The Pathport is a living document and will continue to grow and change with the department itself.
