  • Sister Cities Discovery Garden Expansion

SIZE

2 acres

LOCATION

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Our firm was selected to complete the expansion of the Discovery Garden and play areas at Sister Cities park. The inspiration for the renovation of this park was the Wissahickon Valley, a picturesque wooded gorge extending seven miles along Wissahickon Creek in the northwestern section of Philadelphia. The enhancements include a custom mill-work climbing net and platform, a “hiding” nest, a stream dam, and push-button operated water jets, in addition to an extended area for plantings and additional stone benches. Many of these new additions will be accessible year-round, keeping the park active in the colder month. To replicate the true landscape of the region many of the materials were sourced locally, including the Wissahickon boulders and timber.

AWARD

This project was recently awarded the General Builder’s Contractor Association (GBCA) – 2020 Construction Excellence Award Winner – Best Green Space
