Friends of Schuylkill River Park is a non-profit, charitable corporation. It was formed in 1988 by concerned neighbors to foster:

• Preservation
• Beautification
• Improvement
• Maintenance
• Use and enjoyment

The Park, nestled along the Schuylkill River, spans the area from Pine Street to Spruce Street. For sports recreation it offers a baseball diamond, soccer field, tennis courts and basketball courts. Children enjoy our Markward Playground and recreation center. Park users enjoy lawns and tree-lined walkways, a conversation area and a community garden. A unique feature of the park is the Dog Run; a special enclosed area for dogs, featuring a doggie fountain and separate small and large dog areas, with a common corral entrance.
