To provide safe spaces for social gathering, we expedited repairs to Dilworth Park, turned the fountains on by early summer, frequently cleaned socially distanced seating and programmed activities that restored vibrancy without attracting large crowds. We invited residents to enjoy live entertainment during “Dinner at Dilworth” with takeout from nearby restaurants. We staged small-scale seasonal markets featuring local artisans and hosted performers and a brass quartet from Opera Philadelphia. Working closely with the City’s Health Department, we reconfig- ured the Wintergarden on the Greenfield Lawn, reimagined the Deck the Hall Holiday Lights display, deployed an open-sided BeauMonde Originals Rothman Orthopedics Cabin and managed the Rothman Orthopedics Ice Rink with time limits, reduced capacity and online-only ticketing. Despite a year of intentionally scaled-back Dilworth Park Annual Visitors events with crowd limitations, 6 million people visited Dilworth Park in 2020, about 60% of the volume in 2019. In Sister Cities Park, an expanded Children’s Discovery Garden reopened in the summer with capacity limits and new elements that became instant hits with children: a climbing net, a “hid- ing” nest, a stream dam and push-button water jets.
