The Engine Inside *Philadelphia Premiere*
2023-06-29 19:00 - 21:00 | University of the Arts, 320S Broad St., Philadelphia, PA, 19102, United States
The new documentary feature film, “The Engine Inside”, tells the stories of six everyday people from all over the globe, who reveal the unique power of the bicycle to change lives and build a better world. Through each character’s story, the film uncovers the often-overlooked potential of this 200-year-old machine, exploring its impact on a wide-range of global issues such as physical and mental health, socio-economic inequality and climate change.
By shining a light on people who have embraced cycling as a way to overcome daunting personal and systemic challenges, “The Engine Inside” ultimately asks viewers to reconsider their own perspective. Is there a transformative power within us all that can be unlocked through the simple act of riding a bike?
Narrated by the “voice of cycling” Phil Liggett, Shimano, Pon.Bike and PeopleForBikes present an Anthill Films production.
Starring: D-Blocks, Noran Salah, Megan Hottman, Jay Bearhead, Janice Tower, and Kwabena Danso with Danny Macaskill and Robert Gesink.

Anna C. Verna Playground Ribbon Cutting

Taken from the original event posting:
Join Fairmount Park Conservancy, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, and Friends of FDR Park on August 26th to celebrate the official ribbon-cutting and public grand opening of Anna C. Verna Playground in FDR Park! Families are invited to swing, climb, and explore this fully inclusive play space designed for all ages and abilities. We hope to see you there!
The event caps a year-long building process following last July’s groundbreaking celebration. The completion of this playground is an incredible accomplishment in its own right, and also one more step forward in the multi-phase, multi-decade FDR Park Plan.
The FDR Park Plan seeks to balance nature, water, and human activity into a world-class public space. Named in honor of the late former City Council President Verna — the first and only woman to date to lead City Council — the Anna C. Verna Playground is one facet of this plan, bringing state-of-the-art nature-based play equipment for people of all ages and all abilities.
The playground features a 20-swing mega-swing set; log and boulder scrambles; rolling hills with slides, and two massive tree trunks incorporated into tree houses. In addition to the play structures, there are nine picnic sites and a picnic pavilion.
The playground’s cork-based surface is nearly 100% water permeable and has been graded to mitigate flooding — something users of the current nearby play space are all too familiar with. These environmental considerations help ensure park visitors can enjoy the space for years to come.
We can’t wait to see you and your families for the FIRST of many fun-filled days of play at this incredible playground!
