Cherry Street Pier is such a unique, beautiful, and much welcomed addition to our wonderful city. Whether you're looking for beautiful views, unique art installations, local vendors, or just a place to enjoy some fresh air, Cherry Street Pier offers a true reflection of the best of what makes Philly such an amazing place to live. Three cheers for the curators for repurposing a large abandoned industrial waste of space into gathering place for the entire community.
This is a true city park, open from morning until night, no entry fees, no cost to indulge in the beautiful sights of the Ben Franklin bridge, Delaware river, and the nearby laneways of Old City. This is not the easiest place to access by car, as street/metered parking nearby is limited. However, you can easily utilize the Indego Bike Dock, MFL, bus lines, or various rideshare options to access this space. I typically either walk from an Old City street spot or bring a Lyft.
While there's not cost to enjoy this space, bring some loose change and indulge in a cone of Little Baby's ice cream or a cold draft beer. Keep tabs on the Cherry Street Facebook page for updates regarding cool events like art installations, craft fairs, food markets, and music performances.
This is such a nice, happy, feel-good spot, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
