Wrapping Up 2023: Read the Annual Report!

As we embark on a New Year, we want to take a moment to thank all of the incredible donors, Friends members, and sponsors that supported us through 2023 and into 2024.

With the support of our community, Friends of the Rail Park was able to host thousands of people for free programs and events, expand our environmental footprint through planting new native plant species, and champion ahead with our plans for Phase Two and greater Three Mile Vision. None of this would be possible without you, and we are grateful to have a jump start on our fundraising efforts and exciting plans as we head into 2024.

To learn about what we accomplished in 2023, check out our Annual Report for this year.

Thank you to our Friends members, who provide consistent support for the Rail Park through their monthly donations!
