  • What Is Penn Park?
    1 Frequently Asked Questions About Penn Park Q: What is Penn Park? A: Penn Park is 24 acres of contiguous open space that includes athletic and recreational facilities owned and operated by the University of Pennsylvania. This new amenity lies to the east of the Levy Tennis Pavilion, bordered by Walnut Street, AMTRAK’s Northeast Corridor rail line and South Street. Q: What are the athletic facilities in the Park? A: Proceeding south from Walnut Street; the Park contains Ace Adams field and Dunning-Cohen Champions field, both multipurpose NCAA regulation athletic fields; a 470- seat multipurpose stadium that is also an NCAA regulation women’s softball field; and 12 tennis courts, with 200 seat viewing stands. Between these facilities are pathways, elevated bridge connections and open space for passive recreation; 530 trees adorn the landscaped pathways for walking and jogging. The Park is served by a 210-car surface parking lot bordering the north boundary along Lower Walnut Street. In addition, a security station and restrooms reside in the stadium. Q: Is Penn Park just for athletic use? A: Penn Park integrates athletic venues and park like spaces. It has two acres of open spaces that are agile in use and not specified for athletic use. They are: the South Lawn, an open space between Ace Adams Field and the multipurpose stadium; the Picnic Grove - an open space nestled between the Dunning-Cohen Champions Field and the multipurpose stadium and the South Green, a grass recreation field south of the Hamlin Tennis Center. All easily accessed from the West by the Paley Bridge.

  • IMPACT REPORT a Message from Our President/CEO
    2018 IMPACT REPORT A Message From Our President/CEO If those close to Ed Snider were asked to name his most admirable qualities, it’s doubtful that patience would make the list. That’s not to say Ed didn’t put a lot of thought into what he did. It’s just that he believed sooner or later (and for Ed, it was most often sooner) the time comes to put an idea to the test—and if necessary—refine it on the fly. From our inception in 2005, Ed encouraged us to think boldly. If we saw a need or an opportunity (Ed typically thought these were two sides of the same coin), he urged us to take action. And—while we’ve grown in ways that may have surprised even Ed, we’re still inspired by his healthy restlessness. Consider some of the bold steps taken in 2018: u The University of the Sciences and Elizabethtown College were added to our cadre of higher education partners, providing our students with two more terrific post-secondary institutions at which they can access full college scholarships through our Goals & Assists program and graduate free of debt. u In efforts to deepen our commitment to foster good citizenship, broaden students’ horizons, and support our children, youth, and families in times of crisis, we created two new full-time positions: Coordinator of Service Learning & Career Development and Community Resource Specialist. u The Pew Charitable Trusts selected us to participate in its Evaluation Capacity Building Initiative, a rigorous 18-month training curriculum that will help us become even better at using data to measure and evaluate our success.

  • Fall 2011 Newsletter Dear Friends of Penn Ice Hockey
    From our Alumni Board..... Fall 2011 Newsletter Dear Friends of Penn Ice Hockey: As the Penn Hockey season kicks off, I’m reminded of the things that make the program so great: the people, the traditions, and the legacy. First and foremost, the student athletes are the heart of the Men’s and Women’s programs. They dedicate 20+ hours every week from September until March to represent Penn Hockey. Current players Bill Matczak and Michaela Flaherty, as well as the rest of the captains and officers have demonstrated very strong leadership throughout the past year. The coaching staff and team volunteers are equally as committed as the players, contributing their own personal time that would otherwise be spent with friends, family, and their studies. Ad- ditionally, Mike Reno and the rest of the Penn Rec Structured Sport team have provided endless support for the programs and the Alumni Board. Second, Penn Hockey’s traditions serve as a link from the program’s past to its present. The team’s student leadership hosted the inaugural Club Ivy Championships last year which rekindled Ancient Eight rivalries with Princeton, Harvard, and Brown. The team plans to host the tournament again this upcoming February. The Homecoming Alumni Game on November 5th will be seventh year that alumni will gather at the Class of 1923 Rink to share a spirited game on the ice and share memories off the ice. Last year’s game featured alumni span- ning five decades of Penn Hockey -- from the class of 1959 to the class of 2009. This also marks the fourth year that the program’s Brian Reagan ’02 Leadership Award will be presented.

  • IMPACT REPORT a Message from Our President/CEO
    BUILDING LIVES and UNITING COMMUNITIES 2020 Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation IMPACT REPORT A Message From Our President/CEO Though Covid-19 has completely disrupted our world this year, our Crayons to Careers continuum never faltered. When so many other service organizations were forced to shut down, Snider Hockey delivered on its promise to be Here All Year for those who need us the most! Now — more than ever — under-resourced youth in Philadelphia need our help to be able to thrive in uncertainty, meet the challenges of quickly changing environments, and build successful lives. When you support Snider Hockey, you are helping to narrow the opportunity and achievement gaps for under-resourced Philadelphia youth; thereby, ensuring that they will develop the academic and social-emotional skills needed to grow up to reach their full potential as productive citizens. Our Deliverables Since 2005, with the enduring support of the Philadelphia Flyers and a host of loyal donors, Snider Hockey has helped tens- of-thousands of students build a foundation for lifelong achievement. This year, we embraced new methods and technologies allowing us to continue to deliver in-school, after-school, virtual, and summer programs that provide the necessary tools (assets) for success in the pursuit of academics, careers, and life. EDUCATION has the power to change a life. Reading, writing, and now digital studies allow children to find positive ways to express themselves and be connected to the broader community. Our year-round supplemental educational services promote a lifelong enjoyment of reading, critical thought, group communication, and most importantly, ingrain the desire to be a constant learner in any environment.
