► Summer 2011: 'Friends of Marconi Park' (FMP)
S The SPCCA has joined together with the SCSSD, the Parks and Recreation Dept., LOMO and M.A.R.C.O. (Marconi Area Residents Civic Association) to revitalize Marconi Park.  The initial phase is focusing on tree trimming to improve existing lighting (which will reduce potential for crime),  replacing benches and reviewing water sources for trees and future plantings.
S Any proposed plans will be approved the participating neighborhood associations whose boundaries touch the park on both sides of Broad street.
S The FMP have been meeting regularly to review and analyze possibilities for this beautiful area in our neighborhood.  Both the SCSSD and the Parks and Recreation department have been strong and informed partners.   They are thoroughly researching suggestions and requests for improvement that have been submitted for the park.
