PlanPhilly reporters want to hear from you! <a href=\"#Section1\">Ask us a question or send us a story idea you think we should cover.<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>For those looking to get out and enjoy the change of seasons, the Fairmount Park Conservancy\u2019s fall calendar is sure to offer something for everyone across Philadelphia\u2019s 10,000 acres of parks, from salsa dancing to stargazing.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe try to have a breadth of programs to be that impetus to get people out into these spaces to explore them, to maybe learn a new skill or about a new topic,\u201d said Amanda Daws Cohen, the conservancy\u2019s program manager.\n<\/p>\n<p>While Conservancy programming is primarily hosted in Franklin D. Roosevelt Park, East and West Fairmount parks and the Cobbs Creek area, there are also citywide events and volunteer opportunities, such as the Love Your Park fall weekend from Nov. 14 to 16.\n  <\/p>\n<p>This fall brings several new programs, from paddleboating at FDR Park to Wellness Wednesdays in Strawberry Mansion. Popular favorites will return as well, including monthly salsa dancing at the FDR Boathouse, an event that organizer Daws Cohen said \u201chas grown more and more popular each year,\u201d and will continue to be offered.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re really listening to our program participants that come out, and also looking at program numbers,\u201d she said. \u201cIf there are things that people really love, the numbers are great, we might offer that again in the future. On the other side, too, if there is something that participants want to see that we\u2019re not doing yet, [we\u2019re] definitely listening to that and planning that for future years \u2026 where we can.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Buddy Muhler is an astronomer and science educator at the Academy of Natural Sciences and hosts the popular \u201cstar parties\u201d at Lemon Hill on the first Tuesday of every month. He\u2019s been leading the program since 2021 and wants to dispel the idea that there\u2019s too much light pollution to stargaze on a regular evening.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can get excited [about astronomy] on literally any night,\u201d he said. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to wait for those big events. As long as it\u2019s clear outside, you can go out and have a cool experience with the night sky anytime.\u201d\n        <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Have a question about Philly\u2019s neighborhoods or the systems that shape them?
