Washington Green
Park
Washington Avenue Green is a serene, eco-conscious park on the Delaware River waterfront in South Philadelphia, blending natural beauty with deep historical roots. Opened in 2010 as the city’s first dedicated waterfront green space, the park occupies the site of the former Pier 53, once a bustling immigration station that welcomed over a million newcomers to the United States. Today, the space has been transformed into a peaceful refuge featuring native plantings, bird habitats, and a sculptural boardwalk that leads visitors out over the river. Interpretive signage honors the immigrants who passed through the site, while the park’s design emphasizes sustainability and habitat restoration. With panoramic views of the river, Camden, and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, Washington Avenue Green offers a reflective, scenic experience that connects Philadelphia’s past with its environmental future.
