Deer Management Operations to Take Place in Cobbs Creek Park Overnight December 17th-18th

As part of its annual deer management program within the Fairmount Park system, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation will be in Cobbs Creek Park along the border with Yeadon between the hours of 8:00 PM on Tuesday, December 17 and 6:00 AM on Wednesday, December 18th.

The goal of this program is to remove white-tailed deer to ensure a healthy habitat for all wildlife living in the park. Safety is the top priority during these operations, and a park ranger supervisor will be on site.

The project is a joint effort between the USDA, The City of Philadelphia and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation.
