This 4.5-acre riverfront park is located directly south of the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge and is connected to the K&T Trail. This passive park includes a river overlook and fishing pier, riparian edge restoration, tidal wetlands, picnicking areas, and meadow trails. The park’s varied habitats attract many birds, amphibians, insects, and fish. Visitors have spotted bald eagles, striped bass, peregrine falcons, fox, and more.
