The Rail Park is a new, beautiful, three-mile park that’s in the works in Philadelphia.
The ParkPhase 1 of the Rail Park is a 1/4 mile stretch of elevated park that stretches from 1300 Noble Street up onto the Viaduct.
It's free and open to the public every day from 7am–10pm.
Now that Phase 1 is complete, we're making plans for the future.
The PlansThe full vision for the Rail Park is for a three-mile public greenway that will be twice the length and twice the width of NYC's High Line.
It will have pathways and gathering spaces that will serve pedestrians, bicyclists, neighbors, and visitors alike.
This summer, we began the search for our second full-time team member: a new Community Engagement & Programs Manager. Now, the search is over, and we're thrilled to welcome Shawn Sheu to the Friends of the Rail Park team!
