A stretch of Philadelphia's
waterfront along the Schuylkill
River is going from
parking lot to park land.
University of Pennsylvania
announced plans Tuesday to turn 14 acres of riverside asphalt into green space
by 2011.
Penn President Amy
Gutmann says the $40 million Penn Park project will link the University
City and Center
City neighborhoods while
creating a new gateway to the campus.
Plans for the park
include four athletic fields, a dozen tennis courts and a raised central plaza
with views of the downtown skyline. The park will be on the site of parking
lots once owned by the United
States Postal Service.
The park is a key piece
of Penn's 30-year plan for campus development.
