“I'd take them down to the river. Unruh St. We fished there for years, we walked the tracks to Levick St. and walked home. That was 50 years ago. I'd ride my bike this time. Take the trail from Tacony to Bridesburg. Show them the sights along the way. I'd have never thought it could look as nice as it does today.”

Tacony owes its development to a close proximity to the Delaware River, and today we are fortunate to have access to recreational sites all along the riverfront!
Over several years, organizations like the Riverfront North Partnership have worked hard to develop and activate community spaces like Lardner’s Point Park.
Thanks to the hard work and care of Northeast Philadelphia organizations and community members, our stretch of the riverfront has grown into a lush and green space!
