Parkside Neighborhood Plan 2017-2027
Better Together In Parkside -#ParksidePerfection
PBCIP’s neighborhood planning effort, a 10-month, resident-driven project established a comprehensive strategic plan for transformative neighborhood change (click here to download). The Parkside neighborhood plan has been adopted into the City of Camden's Master Plan.
​
Over 900 residents and stakeholders, guided by PBCIP and its consultants, set forth goals and action steps that address comprehensive community and economic development strategies.
​
The implementation phase being funded (in part) by Wells Fargo Regional Foundation includes concrete steps toward accomplishing significant milestones in commercial development, housing, education, neighborhood services and health & active living initiatives.

Parkside Collaborative's Call to Action
The Parkside collaborative is a group of local partners coming together to transform and revitalize the Parkside neighborhood. With support from the Wells Fargo Regional Foundation, we are working together to create a flourishing neighborhood over the next 5 years – one where a new generation will be employed with quality jobs, families will access new green spaces and healthy food, and in all, a new, stronger future will be built in Parkside.
​
As we build this better future, we have a collective vision that any person walking up and down our blocks will see:
-
Revitalized gardens, parks and trails – from rehabilitated Farnham Park plaza to the new Camden Historical Society Museum “History Garden”
-
More healthy produce affordable and accessible for all residents
-
Economic prosperity through place making and artistic spaces that inspire and build connections for quality living, working and creating
-
More recreational activities and trailways to support resident fitness and health
-
A vibrant business corridor along Haddon Avenue with stronger retail shops and new community based entrepreneurs filling real estate vacancies and providing jobs for residents.
-
A new generation of Parkside youth engaged and employed in technology focused industries and continuing to live in the neighborhood
-
Equal access to healthy food and jobs through gardening
​
Over time, Parkside structures, streets, and blocks will be revitalized – as we together build and grow connections, progress, and hope. Now, the question is; how do you want to be a part of this change?
