Water Garden SPRUCE STREET HARBOR PARK
Named one of the best places to visit in Philadelphia by national press, Spruce Street Harbor Park features colorful hammocks, floating gardens, beautiful lights, refreshing craft beer, and food from popular Philly restaurants, making it a summer gathering space for locals and visitors alike. The Water Garden at Spruce Street Harbor Park is a brand-new floating café created by FCM hospitality in the former home of the Oasis Barge. This revamped space will now include 125+ socially distanced seats, colorful shade, beautiful views of the floating garden and the waterfront activities, plus a food menu featuring light bites showcasing seasonal local produce. The Water Garden is ADA-compliant and features beautiful raw metal railings and authentic boardwalk details. The cantilevered net lounge, inspired by Caribbean resorts, is a place where visitors can relax while suspended 4 feet above the water. The floating gardens are constructed from a durable, non-toxic post-consumer plastic, and used around the country for wetland restoration. Not only are they aesthetically beautiful, but they also serve to clean the water in the marina.
