DELAWARE RIVER WATERFRONT CORPORATION OPENS PHILADELPHIA’S NEWEST PARK,?THE RACE STREET PIER PHILADELPHIA, PA The Delaware River Waterfront Corporation (DRWC ) along with Mayor?Nutter officially opened the new Race Street Pier, the first new public space of its kind on the?Central Delaware River Waterfront to be realized as part of DRWC’s ambitious new Master Plan?for the Central Delaware River Waterfront.? Designed by James Corner Field Operations, the Pier?will create a strong physical experience that reconnects the City to the River, activates the?water’s edge and establishes the pier as a distinctive new public park for the people of?Philadelphia.? Formerly Municipal Pier 11, the pier was renamed as the Race Street Pier to?further reinforce its relationship to the City and reinstate its historic name.? This spectacular public space is the next step forward in building a world-class waterfront in?Philadelphia,” said Mayor Michael A. Nutter.? “I want to thank the many community leaders and?funders who have worked with us to bring this project to fruition.? We are now creating a?waterfront that will be enjoyed by generations of Philadelphians to come. “[The Pier] answers the question of whether a well-conceived public space can change?perceptions of a place with a resounding Yes! - the pier shows the river as its dynamic best,?with a sweeping curve and visual links to one of our nations great skylines. – Marilyn Jordan?Taylor, dean of the School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania and a board member of?the Delaware River Waterfront Corp.?
