Learn More about Schuylkill Banks
Come to the Locust Street donut to learn about the past, present, and future of Schuylkill Banks.
From a peaceful retreat to a heavy industrial zone, the tidal Schuylkill River has seen a lot of change since William Penn founded his "greene countrie towne." Learn about the history of the region from the 1600s to today when you examine, "A Brief History of Schuylkill Banks."
Schuylkill Banks is more than just a unique recreational trail in the middle of the city. Learn about the different aspects of Schuylkill Banks and the organizations that manage it when you read, "It's More than Just the Trail."
SRDC and its partners are working hard to make Schuylkill Banks even better. Learn about plans to improve the existing trail and extend the trail and greenway south to Bartram's Garden and beyond when you check out, "Coming Soon to Schuylkill Banks."
