Welcome
The Schuylkill River Park was designed and built in 1976. Owned and operated by Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, it encompasses the green area bordered by the CSX tracks, 25th Street, Manning Street and Lombard Street. It included the O'Connor Pool on 26th and South Streets. The park connects with the Schuylkill Banks Trail via a pedestrian bridge, which was completed in October of 2012.
