Grays Ferry Crescent Trail Park in Philadelphia
The Grays Ferry Crescent Trail segment wraps around the east side of the Schuylkill from 34th Street to Wharton Street. There's also a new swing bridge under construction just south of the Grays Ferry Bridge, connecting the park to the Schuylkill River Trail.
The trail is accessible from several points in the park, including Grays Ferry Avenue and 36th Street. The trail is bordered by the Schuylkill River and features native grasses and wild floral collections. The park is also home to a skate park and a pier. There's even a cemetery nearby.
The park features a children's play area, a paved bike trail, a skate park, and a fishing pier. Though the park was built on top of an industrial neighborhood, the development team and the Schuylkill Banks company have worked hard to clean up the area. They've added grass and soil to the area and installed benches for public use.
