Fairmount Water Works South Garden

Highlight • Structure

The Fairmount Water Works South Garden is a quiet green space tucked along the Schuylkill River, just below the historic Water Works buildings. Shaded paths, stone walls, and ornamental plantings create a peaceful retreat with views of Boathouse Row and the river. It’s a lovely spot to take a break while riding or walking the Schuylkill River Trail to enjoy a perfect blend of history, nature, and city scenery.

Playing Angels

Highlight • Monument

This sculpture, Playing Angels, was originally created in 1950 by artist Carl Milles but was not installed in its current home until 1976. Milles had originally created five angels in this piece, intended for a different location in Philadelphia, but the plans for that installation fell through and the angels are scattered in different parts of the city.

This bronze sculpture was erected by artist Harry Rosin in 1967 to honor John B. Kelly, a Philadelphia native who was a three-time Olympic Men's Rowing champion. There is a water station within a few feet of this sculpture, along the paved Schuylkill River Trail.
