Riverfront North began in 1995 when the vision for Philadelphia's north riverfront began to take shape. Over the years, and through the efforts of many, the dream of transforming once neglected post-industrial landscapes into usable community space has come to life and continues to grow. Our mission is to complete and sustain the riverfront trail and network of parks along the Delaware River that connects residents of urban neighborhoods to nature, offering unparalleled recreational, community building, and environmental education activities.
