Deplorable condition at Norristown, PA Simmons Park

Norristown, PA Simmons Park is named for the first African American councilman in our municipality and this neighborhood dishonors him by how they actively denigrate this public property. There is no excuse for these conditions and the need for constant repairs misleading called later phases of development. It time to hold residents accountable for some of the poor conditions of their public parks and it's time residential volunteers step up to clean up and maintain what some bad actors have messed up!

Volunteering with Elmwood Park Zoo

The mission of the Elmwood Park Zoo is to foster an appreciation for wildlife and the environment that will inspire active participation in conservation.
Elmwood Park Zoo was established in 1924 when a local farmer transferred 16 acres and a small menagerie to the Borough of Norristown. Today, the zoo is owned and operated by the Norristown Zoological Society, a non-profit organization whose mission is to foster an appreciation for wildlife and the environment that will inspire active participation in conservation. Under the Society’s careful management, Elmwood Park Zoo has attained the elite status as one of only 230 institutions accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. The Zoo’s accreditation was renewed in September, 2016
