Sip by the Schuylkill all season long: Two new waterfront Parks on Taps

Two chances to enjoy our local Delaware Watershed waterfront debut tonight

Want to enjoy our local watershed with snacks, a cold drink and friends?

Parks on Tap has offically returned for the Summer season, with TWO locations on the banks of the Schuylkill River.

The season-long locations are outside Fairmount Water Works (640 Waterworks Drive), and Trails End, by the entry ramp at South Street & South 27th Street. The Trails End location is the newest Parks on Tap location, nestled between abandoned railroad tracks and the Schuylkill River, featuring recycled furniture and bike parking nearby. Plus, there will be a DJ on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Patrons will have to sign-in digitally and the areas will be first-come, first-served. Of course, the Parks on Tap are dog-friendly and children under 21 are welcome when accompanied by a parent or guardian.

If you go:

Parks on Tap at Fairmount Park’s Water Works will be Monday to Friday from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm, and Saturday and Sunday from Noon to 10:00 pm. Water Works, 640 Waterworks Drive, Philadelphia, PA 19130
