"Race Street Pier is a two-level park on the bank of the Delaware River, under the shade of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. The second level, also known as the Grand Sky Promenade, gives you an incredible view of the busy waterfront. The ground level is more like a traditional park, with trees and a lawn. You can stop by to lounge or take one of the 300 free annual yoga classes, in both mornings and evenings." - MATADOR_NETWORK

The space goes along the Delaware River and has very dramatic views of the Ben Franklin Bridge. It was built in 1896. The views of the river are soothing and refreshing. It consists of a two-level promenade with lush plantings, many trees and perennials, as well as an amphitheater-style seating near the river's edge and plenty of benches. We rested here while visiting since we decided to walk all along the river-front.

Race Street Pier is an adventurer’s urban oasis in Philly. Imagine kicking off your day with a sunrise yoga session on the upper level, feeling the city wake up around you. Then, take a stroll down to the lower terrace, where the Delaware River whispers tales of the past. It’s a place where history and modern vibes meet, right under the majestic Ben Franklin Bridge. Whether you’re looking for a serene spot to reflect or a scenic trail to conquer, Race Street Pier is your starting line for an unforgettable city adventure.

Beautiful, calm and gorgeous view. You can spend time calmly sitting here and admiring the beautiful view. Parking can be a bit of a challenge however you will find paid parking in the near vicinity. There are few restaurants around from where you can enjoy this view while dining in.

Open space with green area and shades. Close to the water. A lovely recreational place to taking good pics of the Franklin bridge, to enjoy some sunshine and to hangout with friends. It's free and open to the public.

The place looks good, the staff were nice, they have facts about Black ⚾ players, they have some nice 🖼️ collection and the sea looks beautiful too.

Ideal location to spend an evening amidst cool breeze and eye catching river views and activities around you. All you need is to sit down/ lay down in the long benches provided and chill. The view of the overbridge is amazing and the sound arising out of sapta trains passing over will definitely attract your eyes. Beer garden just walkable. It's a treat to watch boats sailing in the Delaware river. Fishing is not allowed. It's a wonderful location to visit, after completing Franklin square, which is about 10 minutes walk. Will not regret having visited this location. Enjoy the evening.
