The city of Philadelphia is expected to push forward with their plan to renovate John. F. Kennedy Plaza next year. The plaza better known as Love Park will become part of the city’s efforts to make the Parkway from City Hall to the Art Museum greener. You can read more about the cause behind the renovations here.
The Franklin’s Paine website has an article about how they have managed to save a bunch of the granite from the now remodeled Dilworth Plaza for use in the soon to come skateplaza…
“Franklin’s Paine was able to secure over 400 cubic feet of granite removed from Dilworth Plaza at City Hall for reinstall at the Paine’s Park site. We are sad to see City Hall torn up, but grateful that these historic pieces of granite will continue to be skated in Philly for years to come. We are still on track for a late spring ground breaking and will continue to update on our progress!”
