Transfer of this most historic public park from the Philadelphia Fairmount Park Commission to the National Park Service, with the necessary improvements mandated, has been an important part of the SHCA agenda for the past few years. Today the committee has periodic meetings with the Independence National Park Service to see that additional attention is paid to beautification through the planting of flowers and new shrubbery. Attention to the fountain and the eternal flame are also key issues. To become a member of this committee, please complete our "Get Involved" form.
