    One of few places to enjoy the beautiful Philly view! Very nice clean and calm place. An entrance through Locust St leads to the boardwalk. Benches available along the boardwalk to enjoy the view. One can also rent a bike from Indigo bike share station from S 25th Street. Parking is a tough job but street parking nearby would be best on any lanes available.

    Great, Great Place to get out on a Beautiful Day in Philly. Walk, Jog, or Run. Whatever you do, you will definitely have so many beautiful views. Pictures are a must. Dog Park. Community Gargen. Great Restaurants with unbelievable food along the Schuylkill, again, Amazing & Beautiful Scenery.

    If you’ve been in Phila and haven’t made you r way over to the Schuylkill Banks Trail/Boardwalk you are missing out! Running from the beautiful Bartram Gardens in Southwest Phila up through Fairmount it’s a beautiful run/jog/walk that allows a great break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Check out the Schuylkill Banks website for a list of movie nights and other great events hosted throughout the year.

    If you're a walker/jogger/runner then the Schuylkill boardwalk is definitely for you. The best part - the trail leads you straight to the Phila Art Museum, and the famous Row Homes just behind that! Bonus: During spring/summer season, there's a pop-up beer garden set up on the bank as well.

    Great place for a family bike ride. Can be crowded on nice, weekend days. We're lucky to have this in the city. Will be even more awesome when they connect to the Bartram's portion of the trail
