Field Trip to the Rail Park

Come take a field trip with us to The Rail Park on Saturday, August 8 at 11am!

The Rail Park offers an opportunity to think about how transforming defunct infrastructure into vibrant community spaces can bring new life to a community, while balancing the needs for affordability, anti-displacement strategies, and ensuring long-time residents can benefit from neighborhood improvements. Join NKCDC and The Rail Park next weekend to learn about this vision and how they’ve begun planning for equitable development and the community engagement process to help it come to life!
We’ll leave the Kensington Engagement Center at 11:15am and travel to The Rail Park, where we’ll get a tour to learn about the innovative work and equitable development process bringing 3 miles of urban greenery to Philadelphia. We’ll have lunch on-site and then head back to the Kensington Engagement Center at 1:30.

This field trip is part of a series of events this summer called A People’s Exposition, which is taking a critical and honest look at four issues shaping Philadelphia while the nation and city celebrate America’s semi-quincentennial. In July we focused on Community Food Systems and Transportation, and in August, we’re diving into Housing – this field trip will explore the intersection of both!
