Time:1:00pm—5:00pm
Location: Tacony Creek Park GatewayI Street & Ramona Avenue Philadelphia 19124
Event Type: Tour
Join Philadelphia Water Department’s Drew Brown and Adam Levine on this bus tour that will follow the winding course of the Wingohocking Creek.Philadelphia was once laced with a system of streams and their tributaries, most now hidden underground. In the 19th and 20th centuries, city engineers re-channeled most of these waterways into massive sewers that run far beneath our streets.
Once a major tributary to Frankford Creek, the Wingohocking now runs in a sewer that drains Mt. Airy, Germantown, Olney, Feltonville, and Juniata. Points of interest along the way will include Awbury Arboretum and Belfield, home of Charles Wilson Peale. Learn about watersheds and how you can help protect the streams in your neighborhood. -Adam Levine, Philadelphia Water Department
