Schuylkill River Development Corporation

Maintenance program - srdc has an agreement with philadelphia parks and recreation to share maintenance responsibility for schuylkill banks. This public /private partnership lessens the burden on government and increases the level of upkeep on schuylkill banks. This in turn makes the site more attractive and valuable from a quality of life standpoint. Much of the work is done by volunteers especially during the summer season.

Community programming - another srdc goal is to enliven schuylkill banks and strengthen neighborhood connections by creating attractions and destinations along the trail and greenway. This is done partially through public programming, such as outdoor movies, river tours and other special events. These activities create a desire to be on the banks and to enjoy the amenities provided.
