Here is the latest:

"Ok The word from Councilman Jack Kelly's office is that the Philadelphia School District is removing the tot lot with no plans to rebuild. I also found out that the tot lot was built on School Dist property with money raised by a group called the Mayfair Community Association with the promise that the association would care for cleaning and maintenance. There was apparently an internal problem in the group the money disappeared and the group disbanded.

The Recreation Dept took it upon themselves to try to keep it maintained although it is on School District property and no city funding have ever been appropriated for the tot lot for any purpose.

The School District has no interest in or money to rebuild, and the Recreation Department was never interested it it to begin with. So funding would have to be raised by a nonprofit group. A Sports group, Civic Group, Knights of Columbus, VFW etc. Also the city Department of License and Inspections Philadelphia Department of Recreation and The Philadelphia School District and others would have to approve any rebuilding plan."
