Help us continue to make Fishtown Rec Center a better place for the community! Together, we were able to accomplish what one of us alone could not do-paint over graffiti and restore ongoing murals, brighten benches, poles, and playground equipment, sweep and clean trash from the surrounding park and playground, create cards for soldiers and senior citizens, and most importantly, make Fishtown Rec Center a safer, brighter, and happier place to be!
