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.

Wissahickon Park.
Made with Slideshow Embed Tool
All groups in city by the water went on the trip to Wissahickon Park, and there was surprisingly enough space on the train for all 60+ of us. After arriving at the park, we walked down the 100 stairs to reach the path that surrounds the Wissahickon River. Immediately upon reaching the path, it was obvious to see one of the dams of the Wissahickon River. We also quickly noticed that the path was mainly used by bikers, and few walkers. On the other side of the river was Kelly Drive, but the high-traffic highway was not very distracting from the large amount of green space that surrounded us. Our trip was cut short due to unfortunate circumstances, however we all appreciated our time spent at the Wissahickon Park.
