When Friends of Phillips Park, or FOPP, was created in 2017, some places in the park weren’t used much & trash could be seen. FOPP was formed to promote & preserve Phillips Park as a community resource, green space & center of activity for people who live in South Pittsburgh neighborhoods.

Carrick Tree Tenders are a loosely organized group of volunteers who trim new trees, adjust stakes so they grow straighter, mulch and weed – all important things for new urban trees. They also clean up litter around trees. Because of the Tree Tenders, 200 trees have been planted in Carrick, mostly along Brownsville Road, helping make the next generation of urban trees thrive.
