Philly’s favorite traveling beer
garden is back and better than ever—with lots of locations near your The Isle
apartment!
Parks
on Tap made its 2019 debut last month, and it will travel to dozens of Philly
parks between now and September, bringing with it craft beer, gourmet food,
games, live music and endless opportunities to soak up the sun alongside
friends, old and new. There are plenty of comfy lounge chairs and hammocks, or
you can bring along a blanket to curl up in the grass with your favorite brew
and crew. The series is designed to introduce Philly residents and visitors to
the city’s impressive network of public parks, with a portion of all proceeds
from each event directly supporting that week’s park.
If
you haven’t been to Parks on Tap before, don’t miss the chance to see what the
buzz is all about! Here are just a few of the local stops on this year’s tour:
Historic Rittenhouse
Town (May 1-5): Located within Wissahickon Valley Park, about 2.5 miles
from your The Isle apartment, Historic Rittenhouse Town is one of four new
additions to the 2019 Parks on Tap lineup. Dating to the 1600s, this small
neighborhood in the park is home to a half-dozen historic farmsteads. At POT,
tour the homes to learn about local history while supporting the ongoing
maintenance and rehab of these historic gems.
Gorgas Park
(7/31-8/4): Head over to our favorite next-door neighbor, Roxborough, for
the return of Parks on Tap to community favorite Gorgas Park. Just over a mile
from your The Isle apartment, Gorgas is a hub of community activity for both
Manayunk and Roxborough residents—and Parks on Tap weekend will be no
different!
McMichael Park
(8/21-25): Venture to nearby East Falls for another new addition to the POT
schedule, a beautiful six-acre green space in the heart of East Falls, just
about 2.5 miles from your The Isle apartment. With wide canopies of trees, this
is a perfect spot to escape the late-summer heat!
Pretzel Park
(9/18-9/22): Just two blocks from your The Isle apartment, Pretzel Park is
the place to be for Parks on Tap if you don’t want to travel too far from home!
Bring along the pup to have some fun in the dog run, while you kick back with
your favorite beverage. As the only POT stop directly in the heart of Manayunk,
this event is sure to be brimming with neighbors and friends.
