Starting this Friday, February 1, and for the entire month, visitors to Dilworth Park can ice skate for free thanks to Free in February, presented by Capital One. Visitors can receive a complimentary admission pass to the Rothman Orthopaedics Ice Rink just for stopping by the Capital One Rittenhouse Café located at 135 S. 17th Street.

CCDF is pleased to announce the successful launch of a new initiative, Plant Center City, which has the goal of planting 200 new trees in central business district during the next two years. Thanks to a generous challenge grant, donors can “adopt a tree” for only $1,250 for the next 100 trees planted by the CCD and have their contribution matched dollar for dollar.

The holidays may be over but the wintertime activities continue at Dilworth Park until the end of February, featuring new programming for children and adults including the return of “Free in February” presented by Capital One.

Project HOME and the CCD unveiled a new information campaign that is being deployed on transit shelters and counter cards in Center City, highlighting five Philadelphians previously living on the streets who chose a path out of homelessness and now seek to inspire others to do the same.

This annual report looks at Center City retail market trends, including an analysis of retail demand, demographics, annual retail survey results, pedestrian counts and a map of new major retailers.

CCD is pleased to present the activation of the first phase of Pulse, a site-specific work of public art created for Dilworth Park by internationally renowned artist Janet Echelman.
