It's quite a nice place to go for a sip of fresh air while enjoying the...water...scenery and be relaxed and refreshed from the wear-and-tear of the hustle of urban living and environment.
Picnic tables and trash cans
Come feel the broad tidal Delaware River swell around you at high tide on South Philadelphia's community riverfront park, Pier 68. Come watch the vessels of the working riverfront: tugs, pilot vessels, freighters and tankers--ply the sinuous channel in front of you. Fishing is welcome (catch & release) so check out the pole holders in the benches near the edge. Or chill on one of the wide blue and white "W" shaped benches made to resemble mariners' moustaches of yesteryear.
Further ecological restoration is also planned for adjacent piers.
Also accessible by SEPTA (Columbus Commons) and the Delaware River Trail beginning at Washington Ave.
