Northeast Philadelphia
In conjunction with the Philadelphia Water Department’s Green City, Clean Waters Program, TTF is leading the engagement of watershed community members in educational and stewardship activities, raising awareness of watershed issues, and encouraging responsible, positive action in line with Philadelphia’s Tacony Creek trail, park and stream restoration efforts. In the fall of 2011, we hosted a series of Love Your Watershed events at the park, which included stormwater management information, hands-on activities and nature walks.
Projects in the Tacony Creek Park area include:
- Whitaker Ave Restoration
- Philadelphia Parks & Recreation Trail Project
- Gateway Improvement Project
- Frankford Creek Greenway Plan
- Tacony Creek Park Storage
- Tacony Creek at Adams Ave
