PHILADELPHIA -
A playground at a Philadelphia elementary school was repaired Tuesday after vandals destroyed it about a month ago.
FOX 29 first told you about the playground at Gideon Elementary School in Strawberry Mansion after vandals tore it up and even set its platform on fire.
The playground was constructed for the school under the Eagles Youth Partnership program.
The program includes resources for maintaining and repairing equipment, even if it was vandalized.
On Tuesday, the Eagles Youth Partnership returned to the park to make the repairs.

Not the prettiest Friday, but we're ready for a great weekend. Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. After an early high in the upper sixties, temperatures fall & winds pick up out of the chillier northwest. Right now the Memorial Day Weekend looks sunny and cool with highs in the low to mid 60s on Saturday, in the 70s Sunday & Monday. Cooler temps at the shore.
