The Friends of Robinson Park are committed to educating neighbors and interested parties on subject matter that is of specific concern to Robinson Park – specifically where Cheltenham Township’s proposed “Wetland Enhancement Project” is concerned. Our mission is to provide the community with independent, expert third-party guidance from reputable sources.
We do not spam our mailing list, and we do not sell or share our members’ contact information with other organizations.
