It’s the pride of Philadelphia. Fairmount Park is considered to be one of the world’s finest urban parks. It wasn’t always so. The legacy is laid out in a new book entitled “City in a Park: A History of Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park System.” NewsWorks Tonight Host Dave Heller spoke with its authors: James McClelland, Executive Director Emeritus of the Philadelphia Art Alliance, and Lynn Miller, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Temple University.
