Borski Park


JOIN PARKS ON TAP FOR OUR FIRST TIME AT the new BORSKI PARK!

HOURS:

WEDNESDAY - FRIDAY | 4 - 10PM
SATURDAY - SUNDAY | 12 - 10PM

ABOUT:

The Robert A. Borski, Jr. Park is part of the 11-mile greenway that Riverfront North Partnership helps to create, activate and steward with the City of Philadelphia.

The much-anticipated park will transform a former concrete factory into a 10-acre public park with river views, a multi-use lawn, and an upland meadow, restroom, and parking. It is the last of the eight planned parks on the North Delaware River Greenway. The park is owned and managed by Philadelphia Parks and Recreation and will be open Summer 2025!

Free street parking is available on Delaware Avenue and Orthodox Street.
