It could be so much better. Unfortunately it looks like they are not being funded enough to complete the expansion. Only one phase was completed. However, it’s a pretty neat spot to check out. Parking is near impossible. I went a few years ago during summer. There was no shade and pretty hot. But there was a pop-up beer garden under the rail park. Not much to do at this park, but worth a visit. I went back this year during winter. Not much to see during winter, but I still enjoyed chilling up here while on my lunch break.
Found this place while taking a walk. This is a cute little spot for a quick stop during your afternoon run or walk. There are some chairs to sit on top of the park. This is just the phase 1 which is complete now. Will be interested to see how it looks when the phase 2 is complete!
Alongside historic tracks that led to Reading Terminal is a new urban park that looks like NYC's High Line. Only a small portion is open, but there are swings, benches, lookout stations and city views. There's a board that tells its story and vision to expand.
I would not recommend going alone as a woman. It’s a beautiful park, but sadly it needs more maintenance and possibly some security measures to help the people experiencing homelessness who congregate there.
What a cool hidden gem! We watched the sunset. Everyone here was so chill and we had plenty of space to feel like we were alone. There's different types of seating and people were riding bikes through the trail. It's landscaped nicely. Great view. A must see if you embrace urban culture!
Lovely spot. There's usually parking at the end of it if u follow Google maps directions. Beautiful at any time. They made it longer with more trees which is nice.. definitely good for a nice stroll and the swings are relaxing too!
This has been on my must-see list for a while now. Getting to the park is easier on foot rather than trying to find street parking, but the entrances are a little hidden. Finding the stairs on Callowhill between 11th and 12th streets is easier. The Noble Street entrance is at grade, but you have to come in from Broad Street. I visited on a Friday late afternoon and the park was being used by families, solo walkers, dog walkers and a few hanging out and reading or taking on their phones. Lots of seating in sun or shade, interesting plants and a modern, industrial aesthetic which was expected, but not especially creative or unique. An NYC High Line knockoff for sure. I would have loved to see something more inherently Philly, more local. The park seems well cared for, though nowhere near as manicured as say Dilworth Park, but perhaps that is the point. The horticulture looks more like what the railway was in all it's abandoned glory. You can see what that was at the Callowhill end. Well worth a visit, walk out back and forth a couple times then sit and soak up the sounds of the city.
This park is a work in progress. However, the part that is open is nice. There are a few swings at the far end of the park which make for a good place to have a chat after a date night.
The Rail Park is in its infancy. It's still new. It is only about 3 blocks long but it is nice. It's quiet and clean. It is a nice place rest and swing in the chairs at the one end. I want to go back and see what else they add in the next phase!
I loved this very urban park! There is a history plaque, a beautiful tribute to the companies that surrounded the area and a map of the Rail line. I can't wait to see Phase II. Handicap accessible from Noble Street.
