Piccoli Playground has been selected as a Rebuild site!

Rebuild is investing hundreds of millions of dollars to refurbish parks, playgrounds, recreation centers and libraries to provide safe and attractive spaces for recreation and education, community services, and other essential programs. Rebuild promotes inclusion and opportunity for diverse businesses and individuals and empowers community voice while constructing improvements that support the well-being of Philadelphians.  Projects are made possible through the Philadelphia Beverage Tax.
