PHILADEPHIA, PA - Parks on Tap at the Waterworks location will offer beautiful and sweeping views of Boathouse Row and the Schuylkill River.


Parks on Tap at Fairmount Park’s Water Works

It will join and work with the existing business community outside Water Works, including Cosmic Cafe, a farm-to-table organic cafe option for guests, and Wheel Fun Rentals, which offers family-friendly 4-wheel multi-passenger surrey rides for sight-seeing along Boathouse Row. Organizing partners encourage everyone to support these partners while exploring new park spaces during their day with Parks on Tap.

For seating, Parks on Tap does not offer reservations. All seating is first-come, first-serve. If the beer garden is at capacity when guests come to visit, a waitlist will be established, and guests will be encouraged to explore the park until they receive a text message that it's their turn.

Philadelphia Parks on Tap is family and fido-friendly. The beer garden is 21+ to enter. Children, families, and anyone under 21 are welcome to participate if they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian with legal identification. Alcoholic beverages must stay within the beer garden’s fenced area. This is required for full compliance with the PLCB code. All patrons will be asked to sign in when visiting the park digitally.
