Projects & Improvements

Partnership in Action

Great public spaces do not thrive by accident. They require vision, coordination, investment, and sustained care.

The City of Philadelphia, through Parks & Recreation, plays a vital role in managing and maintaining these spaces. At the same time, many of the enhancements that make parks feel safe, vibrant, and welcoming are made possible through partnership—with civic organizations, philanthropy, community leadership, and people who believe public spaces deserve sustained attention.

W.A.T.E.R.S. is proud to work in close partnership with Fairmount Park Conservancy, whose mission is to support and advance improvements throughout the park system in alignment with the City.

Together, we look forward to bringing focus, resources, and advocacy to a corridor that belongs to the whole city.

“Long before Philadelphia’s skyline rose around it, people gathered along the Schuylkill River; and, nearly two centuries later, they still do. Few places in America carry a sporting and civic legacy like this one - where competition, community, nature, and public life continue to meet along the water’s edge.”

-Bonnie Mueller, Commodore Emeritus, Schuylkill Navy of Philadelphia
