News from Simpson Recreation Center

I wanted to write to let you know that I have been transferred to another facility with the Philadelphia Parks and Recreation system and my official last day will be Friday, March 29, 2019.
It has been a pleasure serving this community and a greater pleasure being entrusted with the care of your children.  As of now, I do not know who will take my place as facility supervisor, but Patrick Reilly is remaining and I have full confidence in his ability to continue the programs of the center.
Thank you again for the support you have provided to me during my tenure here at Simpson Recreation Center.
