City by the water is one of three service learning topics in the BITS (Building Information & Technology Skills) 2010 summer program. Students in this group visited the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Wissahickon Park, Schuylkill Banks Trail, and the Delaware River Waterfront to explore Philadelphia's relationship with its rivers.
Today we visited the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, where we were led by a Temple Geology/Urban Studies professor named Hamil. We began our walk at City Hall and then proceeded down the Benjamin Franklin Parkway to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. On our walk, the youths took note of the many fountains and historical monuments that they passed. Luckily, the heat was not that extreme for our walk and we all found it very enjoyable and interesting.
