We have plans to restore this historic rail car and turn it into a visitors center for the park.
This stunning steel wall gives visitors a visual history of Industrial-era Philadelphia.
Public bike racks encourage eco-friendly transportation for everyone visiting the park.
The park’s plants are mostly native, reflecting many species that grew here in the past.
A City of Philadelphia 1% for Art commission–Brent Wahl’s sculpture and poetry curated by Laynie Browne.
Open seating area for performances, community gatherings, activities, and events.
Oversized bench swings offer the perfect place for park visitors to soak in the skyline view.
The Stamp of Incarceration by Shepard Fairey is part of a mural series on criminal justice.
