Honoring Susan Slawson, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation Commissioner
Susan Slawson is a transformative civic leader whose work mobilizes parks, recreation, and community partnerships to drive equity, opportunity, and neighborhood vitality across Philadelphia. Appointed Commissioner of Philadelphia Parks & Recreation in 2024 at the personal request of Mayor Cherelle L. Parker, she leads stewardship of more than 10,000 acres of public land, hundreds of facilities, and programs that bring people together, expand access to recreation, and support vulnerable communities.
With more than 30 years of public service experience, Susan provides strategic oversight of one of Philadelphia’s largest and most dynamic city departments, spanning parks, playgrounds, waterways, recreation centers, and a concert venue—places where programs, sports, arts, and community services converge to strengthen neighborhoods and connect residents across the city. Under her leadership, the department delivers inclusive public spaces, recreation services, and community initiatives that advance a safer, cleaner, and greener Philadelphia while expanding opportunity for all residents.
