CCD announces plans for Dilworth Park’s winter transformation, beginning Friday, November 14, with the return of the Rothman Orthopaedics Ice Rink and Cabin, the Wintergarden and the Made in Philadelphia Holiday Market.

This winter Dilworth Park is holiday central. Rothman Institute Ice Rink and Cabin and the Philadelphia Holiday Market are back, plus the park will be turned into a Wintergarden with fun new attractions and programming.

A new report from CCD/CPDC, Firing on All Cylinders: Growing Jobs and Small Business by Expanding the Traded Sector, compares Philadelphia to five other U.S. cities. It documents how Philadelphia lags in many other traded employment sectors, but suggests that if we replicate the success achieved by others and commit to steadily more competitive tax rates, we will grow more family-sustaining jobs and a prosperous network of small, local businesses.

CCD is resuming work on enhancements to the Discovery Garden, which will expand the park’s opportunities for play with new components that engage children from a broader range of ages.
