Grays Ferry Crescent Trail Park

The Grays Ferry Crescent is nestled tightly around the bend in the Schuylkill River between the 34th St.and Gray’s Ferry Ave.bridges. The park is part of the Schuylikill Banks project, and will one day connect the lower Schuylkill River to the rest of the Schuylkill River Trail. This modern park features a skate park, fishing access, and a pier that lets you walk out above the water for an amazing view of the city skyline. You can also get down to the river’s edge and gaze across the water to The Woodlands Cemetery.

Very nice quiet, we had a group of 8 pivnic. Quiet. Qell kept landing for fisher people also. Bike trail.

Not what it used to be… I remember when it was just woodlands. Be careful if you do go here, there are organ harvesters prowling around. A homeless man was killed here.

Well maintained park! But other factors, having nothing to do with the park and those responsible for maintaining it, that make it less than a stellar nature experience. I give the maintenance of the park, 5 stars.

Beautiful and good with social distancing a great place to think and enjoy the outdoors and at peace

Decent urban-park stroll. Needs to prohibit vehicles. Seems to be a place for city workers to sit in their government vehicle looking at their phones. Would be nice if there were a non-paved walking option.

You can walk, run, bike this part of the Schuylkill River Trail up to the University Avenue Bridge. Highlights include a skate park and a new walkout fishing pier. There is a paved flat trail, with river and city views. There are some benches and trash cans along the way. The start of the Cresent Trail section is popular for fishing. You can find free street parking in the Grays Ferry neighborhood if you want to start the trail from here. We discovered that the Innovation Center (where we planned to park) is closed to visitors/parking on the weekend.

Nice place to relax and fish. The bite is "sometimey" but a nice place nonetheless. Also beautiful trail for the kids and a nice lil skate park.

It was cool just overcrowded. It seems like everyone has took on fishing as their hobby lol.

Once the bridge is finished connected the east and west banks, will be epic. Great scenery

Great spot for fishing or a walk, would be better if the stench of the nearby garbage facility didn't waft over on the breeze.

Formerly Dupont Crescent for DuPont's Marshall Laboratory (now Pennovation Center) where paint products were made until 2009, this environmentally-remediated riverfront park offers a unique view of a quiet loop of the tidal Schuylkill River. A section of the Schuylkill River Trail also meanders through the site and will eventually connect to the new swing bridge and Bartram's Mile to the south and the Christian to Crescent bridge to the north. Features views of 18th c. Woodlands estate, Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, the Mill Creek Sewer and a skate park underneath Grays Ferry Ave. Bridge. Entrances at Trolleyworks and 34th St.

It was a wonderful park. Lot of skateboarding it was fun. I like the river and how clean it was.i love seen people fishing here. While other are sitting on the benches

My grandson and I ride our bikes here. We stop and have a snack. Its beautiful and relaxing.
