A West Philadelphia green space will provide more opportunities for outdoor recreation for neighbors thanks to a $200,000 grant from the William Penn Foundation. With support from the William Penn Foundation, Drexel University’s Dornsife Center for Neighborhood Partnerships will upgrade a portion of its 2-acre campus by integrating playful learning equipment, adding multipurpose seating, improving wayfinding across the campus, and installing a raised crosswalk on the 3500 block of Brandywine Street, which will connect the existing Dornsife Center Campus with the Dornsife Community Center located at 3512 Spring Garden Street.
