Bartram's Gardens Wetland Walk Re-Design

As Bartram's Gardens prepares for increased visitation, the wetland walk can serve as an anchor along the Schuykill River Trail. Highlighting the wetland walks views of Center City, education value, an programming for water activities, is key in making the space a destination point.

Using boardwalks, new walking paths and seating, and riverfront piers, along with more efficient storm water planning can help to create new programming for the space, taking the wetland walk from an underutilized gem, and turning it into a focal point for years to come.
