Our Trail Ambassadors through the Alliance for Watershed Education and PowerCorps PHL contributed to our community outreach efforts, environmental education in Tacony Creek Park and bringing energy and enthusiasm to our team. We appreciate you!

This summer, we led environmental education programs at Tacony Creek Park gateways using the Creekmobile . Local rec centers Ziehler Playground, Ferko Recreation Center and Piccoli Playground met up with us along the trail for fun lessons about how we can all take care of our creek and park.

Have you ever been curious about what plants or animals live in the park? Every Saturday morning we walked with participants along the trail, identifying the wildlife we found using the free iNaturalist app. Check out what we've seen!

For the past few months, community members have exercised and walked the trails of Tacony Creek Park together. See here to meet neighbors pledging to taking care of themselves! Watch for news about walking groups starting again this fall!

Judith Gratz, our environmental educator led us on walks in Tacony Creek Park to discover many surprises. We learned about butterflies, bird migrations, watersheds, and so much more. Join us every month for a new adventure!

Illegal dumping and vehicles on the trail have been a problem facing the park for a long time. Through a grant from Fed Ex and the Rails-To-Trails Conservancy, and with support from Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, we've installed a brand new gate and bollard at the Olney Avenue and Tabor Road park entrance. This gate and boulders will help prevent people illegally driving vehicles into the park while allowing pedestrians and bicycles to enter.
