Race St Pier

Philadelphia


In 2011, as part of the masterplan for transforming the central Delaware River waterfront, old municipal pier 11 was converted into this park with multilevel walkways and plantings. It provides an up-close-and-personal view of the north face of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, as well as a perch on which to watch river traffic float by.

Free yoga classes are held here at 7am and 6pm Monday through Thursday, 7am on Friday, and 9:30am Saturday and Sunday from early April through the first weekend of November.
