Philadelphia officials broke ground Tuesday for the new 10-acre Robert A. Borski Jr. Park along the Delaware River in the city's Bridesburg neighborhood. The Betsy Ross Bridge rises in the background.The site of a former concrete factory in Bridesburg, now a multi-acre concrete slab rimmed by woods, has an unbroken view of the Delaware River with the Betsy Ross Bridge as a backdrop., designed with a wide-open lawn, upland trails, meadow, restrooms, and parking.
The first phase of Borski Park, now under construction, should be complete by 2025 at a cost of about $7 million, raised through public and private sources. A second phase, which has no scheduled start, is expected to cost about $3.7 million and will include a stage, picnic pavilion, terraced lawn seating, and boardwalk with river views.“It’s very humbling,” Borski, 74, said of having the park named after him. “I will take way more joy when it’s completed and can see people using it.
Stephanie Phillips, executive director of Riverfront North, called the park “truly a community accomplishment” at least a decade in the making.
