A Great Urban Park

Philadelphia, like all great cities, deserves outstanding parks that serve as sources of civic pride, joy, and well-being. Yet Philadelphia lacks a high-quality, high-amenity, city-scale, and accessible urban park.

 

Together, the Parkway Council along with Philadelphia Parks and Recreation and the Office of Transportation, Infrastructure, and Sustainability are guiding a planning process to unlock the Benjamin Franklin Parkway’s potential to be Philadelphia's great urban park.

​

The planning team is currently working on incorporating feedback from public and stakeholder engagement. Thank you to everyone who has shared their thoughts at community meetings and through surveys and other materials. The Parkway Council and its city partners look forward to releasing the final conceptual plan for the Parkway's future in the coming months.  Learn more about the process to date and the ideas under consideration on the project’s website.
