Penrose Playground Gets a Makeover!

The UCCP is proud to report that the 100 Hours of Power Service Marathon at Penrose Playground was an enormous success, thanks to the stellar coordination of City Year Greater Philadelphia, the fantastic support of Teens 4 Good, the overall infrastructure provided by Arthur Ashe Youth Tennis and Education's Love2Serve Program and the tireless dedication of Mr. Eric Rudy from the Department of Recreation and Miss Ethel Cooper from the Penrose Advisory Council.

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.....



The NEW Penrose Playground!


Some details from the mural:




Above: Liz Hanson, a UCCP intern, works with a child from
Penrose to paint a newspaper commemorating the historic voter
turnout in the 2008 presidential election. UCCP Leaders Corps members
Aaron Kennedy and Kianni Brooks trace a quote from Ghandi on the
Summer side of the Penrose Rec center.
