The Schuylkill River Development Corporation (SRDC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working with the City of Philadelphia to revitalize the Schuylkill River corridor from the Fairmount Dam to the Delaware River, branded as Schuylkill Banks. The centerpiece of this effort is the construction, programming, and maintenance of a continuous eight-mile riverfront trail and greenway with associated access points and amenities along the Banks. Work is under way to connect the Fairmount Water Works and Bartram’s Garden, two National Historic Landmarks, and extend the trail from its current southernmost point near 61st Street to the bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure on Passyunk Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia. Subsequent phases of the project will extend Schuylkill Banks to Fort Mifflin, another National Historic Landmark, situated near the confluence of the Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers.
