Building new urban parks is challenging for large cities. Philadelphia is one city that has doggedly pursued this vision for greenspace and come up with intriguing solutions. One of its most innovative jobs is Penn’s Landing Park, scheduled for a 2029 opening. In most cities, new urban parks are created as one or two-acre “pocket” parks, shoehorned into the existing built environment. Philadelphia’s newest park will be 11.5 acres and include an amphitheater, 100 trees, a skating rink and room for relaxing and playing. What makes the new park so innovative is that it will be built as the CAP (Central Access Philadelphia) over the bustling I-95 freeway that carries thousands of motorists each day to their destinations in the city and to other parts of the state. The park will connect people to the Delaware River Waterfront in the east and offer easy access to the city’s historical sites to the west. As one of Philadelphia’s 100 urban parks, this one is unique.
