Visit Glen Foerd on Grant Blvd in Northeast Philadelphia to experience their free, summer boating days! On select dates through August, enjoy a family fun day in the Poquessing Creek and Delaware River! They'll have canoes, rowboats, and kayaks for guests of all ages! Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
This is similar to FDR Park's free boating days! Boat space is limited and on a first come, first served basis. Plan to attend early!

Events can be canceled on short notice due to weather. Be sure to check out their social media for updates! This event is free!
Comments will be approved before showing up.
