Rediscover the waterfront.
Although situated between two major rivers, Philadelphia's natural resources became underutilized and somewhat inaccessible in the 20th century.
Ten years ago, the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation implemented a plan to transform the waterfront a vibrant destination for residents and visitors.
Today, seven parks, a trail, an outdoor skating rink, and renovated historic pier are among the new public spaces that attract hundreds of thousands to rediscover the waterfront each year.
