Philadelphia is on its way to becoming a great riverfront city full of cultural, economic and environmental potential. You can be part of this exciting growth by joining the Coalition for Philadelphia's Riverfronts (CPR).

CPR will work to create a scenic walking, biking, skating and blading trail that is connected to the city and follows the edges of the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers.

Please join us on October 6 at 5:00 p.m. at the new Schuylkill Banks Plaza at Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, on the Schuylkill River adjacent to the Philadelphia Museum of Art . We'll talk about how the new greenway will help the city's economy, the ways it will support Greenworks' goal to make Philadelphia the greenest city in America and how a continuous, connected trail along our rivers will benefit everyone who lives in or visits Philadelphia.

And there's more! Thanks to help from the Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC) and the Schuylkill River Development Corporation, Hidden River Outfitters will offer discounted kayaking for the price of $25 after the event so you can get out and enjoy the river. For more information please contact Rachel Vassar at 215-545-9691 or vassar@pennfuture.org.
