Relax and Read (silent reading) at Parks on Tap, Chapter 4: FDR Park

Yay reading time!! Join Audrey for Chapter 4 of the 2025 Relax & Read series: FDR Park!** Throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall we'll gather at Parks on Tap locations to read together silently while also supporting and getting to know Philly's beautiful parks.

Here's how it works:

• First hour (5:30-6:30): Grab your book and read silently
• Second hour: Socialize (or keep reading) - it's up to you!

DETAILS:
We’ll start with silent reading 🙊for the first hour allowing everyone to delve into their own book. After that we can spend time socializing and talking about what we are reading. 📚

Pop by whenever you can, stay as short or long as you’d like.

🌳ABOUT THIS PARK

FDR Park is South Philadelphia’s largest park and one of its most important public institutions, reflecting the remarkable racial, cultural, and economic diversity of South Philadelphia.

Its lakes, architecture, athletic fields, and nature trails create a civic commons where Philadelphians of all backgrounds can recreate, experience nature, and enjoy the cultural expressions of South Philadelphia.

The Friends of FDR Park is a community-led nonprofit organization dedicated to stewarding and advocating for FDR Park. They are committed to achieving their vision of building one of the greatest urban parks in America, rooted in the ideals of diversity, inclusion, and environmental sustainability.

🍺ABOUT PARKS ON TAP
Parks on Tap is a partnership between Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and FCM Hospitality, Parks on Tap was created to be a traveling beer garden throughout the city's various, beautiful parks all summer long. Proceeds from Parks on Tap benefit the Fairmount Park Conservancy.

Each park and location is collectively selected as a way to highlight and enhance the offerings that Philadelphia city parks provide. It aims for a simple aesthetic: well-kept outdoor spaces where friends and families can meet up to enjoy food, drinks, and fun in a natural green space. A portion of all proceeds benefits each park.

🍺Is purchase of alcohol required?
Nope! I picked Parks on Tap locations because there will always be seating, shade, food trucks and bathrooms. Free to enter and purchase of alcohol or food is not required. But, bring ID to enter.

🍔Food and Drinks
Parks on Tap serves a variety of local craft beers, wine and cocktails, as well as non-alcoholic beverages such as water, lemonade and iced tea. A full food menu is available for purchase that highlights items made from locally sourced items and snacks.

Seating: They provide chairs so no need to bring your own. But if you're vibe is more chillin' on a blanket, bring it!

No need to read this part. It's just for Meetup's algorithm to help these events get seen. Grrr. We love to read books and do fun stuff to celebrate our hobbies and reading. We do many things that involve books and reading and book club. We are adventurous and like to seek out urban adventures and walking tours and like to silent read books and practice hobbies and socialize a lot! Book clubs are the best thing to meet new friends and make friends and socialize and explore for when you are new in town and want to meet people and socialize to talk about books and explore museums and other places.
