HOW IT WORKS:
We’ll start with intros and a short period of socializing and then move onto a silent reading 🙊 session for about 30-45 minutes, allowing everyone to delve into their own book. After that we can spend more time socializing and talking about what we are reading. 📚Or you can just keep on reading, whatever suits your fancy!

Pop by whenever you can, stay as short or long as you’d like.

About the Park: STRAWBERRY MANSION BRIDGE
The Strawberry Mansion Bridge is a steel arch bridge across the Schuylkill River near the Historic Strawberry Mansion. Located at Ford Drive and Strawberry Mansion Drive, the bridge serves as a link between East and West Fairmount Park, used by pedestrians, vehicles, horses, and bicycles. Dating back to the late 1800s - early 1900s, the bridge was shut down in 1996 after being declared unsafe due to severe deterioration. The Streets Department undertook restoration of the bridge and reopened it in 1999. The Strawberry Mansion Bridge Restoration was nominated for and won the 2002 Preservation Achievement Award, given by the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia.

ABOUT PARKS ON TAP:
A partnership between Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and FCM Hospitality, Parks on Tap was created to be a traveling beer garden throughout the city's various, beautiful parks all summer long. Proceeds from Parks on Tap benefit the Fairmount Park Conservancy. Each park and location is collectively selected as a way to highlight and enhance the offerings that Philadelphia city parks provide. A portion of all proceeds benefits each park.

Is purchase of alcohol required?
Nope! I picked Parks on Tap locations because there will always be seating, shade, food trucks and bathrooms. Free to enter and purchase of alcohol or food is not required. But, bring ID to enter.

🥗🍺Food and Drinks
Parks on Tap serves a variety of 🍻 local craft beers, wine and cocktails, as well as non-alcoholic beverages such as water, lemonade and iced tea. 😋A full food menu is available for purchase that highlights items made from locally sourced items and snacks.
