Spanning 1.52 square miles at the shore of the Delaware River, Eddystone is home to 2,459 residents – all of whom live within a ten-minute walk of a public park. Residents have access to five existing community parks in the Borough, three of which were studied in this planning process. The master plan addresses the use and programming of these existing parks while also imagining two future park sites planned by the Borough: a 10-acre waterfront park along the Delaware River and a community park along Ridley Creek. The master plan articulates a vision for the future of Eddystone’s parks, providing a path for the community and officials to make improvements in the future. The recommendations include physical improvements as well as programming and activation of public spaces. This master plan was undertaken in 2024, and made possible with support from the Delaware County Planning Department’s “Delco Green Ways Grant Program.”
