New Community Center

I received a tour of the new (two weeks old) community center in Nicetown section of the city at 4200 Wissahickon Avenue (just below Roosevelt Blvd). It is NICE! It is the kind of building you would expect to see on the Ben Franklin Parkway. I doubt there is a better aquatics facility in the city. Nice exercise facility. If you live in the area such as East Falls, definitely check it out. It is run by the Salvation Army in partnership with the Ray and Joan Kroc foundation which supplied the major funds. Here is the website, which unfortunately only has architectural drawings. Fantastic children's pool if you are looking for a pool party. Monthly and year memberships.
