A Spring Garden Civic Association event.

The Spring Garden Civic Association (“SGCA”) is a nonprofit organization serving the Spring Garden community for over 50 years. We are one of the earliest, most experienced, and active civic associations in the City of Philadelphia.

In addition to hosting regular meetings and social events, the SGCA provides a number of services and programs, and facilitates community improvement efforts throughout the neighborhood. We sponsor regular tree plantings, community cleanups, and efforts to fight trash and litter year-round. We work with the 9th District police, and local residents and businesses, to keep the community informed about safety concerns and help combat crime. We oversee zoning, historical, and liquor license matters, and work with local business to assist and help promote community enterprises. And, we partner with other local organizations, including the Spring Garden CDC, ‘The Spring Gardens’ community garden, and Green Street Dog Park, to carry out community improvement, social venue, and service projects.

Join with us in our continuing efforts to make Spring Garden one of the safest, greenest, most attractive, diverse, business-friendly, and welcoming communities in the City.
