The Friends of
High School Park

a nonprofit community organization, is dedicated to restoring and managing the native ecosystem of High School Park for the enjoyment of the community in cooperation with Cheltenham Township.

FHSP has transformed this once neglected site of the former high school into an award-winning place of natural beauty. Since 1995, we have dug in hundreds of native plants, and ensured their survival by digging out invasive weeds.

Neighbors enjoy the peaceful beauty
