Thank you for helping keep the park beautiful on Love Your Park Day! We cleaned, planted, mulched and celebrated Schuylkill River Park. We even held a Pumpkin Chunkin' and smashed pumpkins for a good cause (recycling) and planted a Sensory Garden with the winning tree - the PawPaw!

2022 FALL OPENER

ICYMI! Schuylkill River Park kicked off fall in a big way: a flea market, basketball tournament (with trophy!), snacks... oh, and did we mention a marching band?

Spring 2022 Love Your Park Week

Thank you to everyone who came out to the spring Love Your Park Day at Schuylkill River Park! We spread mulch, cleared debris from paths and drains, picked up garbage, and sanded and painted our new Adirondack chairs. Once they’re dry, the chairs will be added around the park for everyone to enjoy!

Thanks to Paulien for her hard work weeding and mulching the liriope bed between the two dog park gates! It was looking ruff.
