Service learning students from the "City By the Water" group will be traveling to different parts of Philadelphia to explore the city's relationship with its rivers. Some of the places that students are going to include the Benjamin Franklin Parkway,Wissakicken Park, Schuykill River banks trail, and the Delaware River water front. This blog will share students responses to these areas and tell about our experiences as we try to find out how the city is affected by water.

Wissahickon Park Trip *
The Wissahickon Park Trip Was Very Hot ! To Get There We Had To Take The R6 Train. When We Got Off The Train It Was A Long Walk To The 100 Steps We Had To Walk Down Just to Get To The Trail. At First I Was Really Scared , The Steps Looked Very Steep But After I Walked Down Them I Learned They Weren't As Steep As I Thought. The Water Was Very Dirty. It Had A Dirty Green Color To It. Although It Was So Filthy Fish Were Still In It And Alive ! That Amazed Me to See How Such Animals Could Survive In Such A Nasty Habitat. The Water Was So Shallow That I Could See the Bot tom Of The Creek. It Was very Green In A Good Way Too. There Were So Many Trees And Plants Around There .While Walking The Trail People Were Walking Dogs With Their Families , Jogging By And Riding There Bikes By Us Really Fast So We Had To Be Careful Not To Get Hit. I Saw Two daddy Long Leg Spiders Crawling Across The Trail Which Made Me Jump A Little. The Park Has Help Locators With Different Numbers For Different Areas Of the Park So If Anyone Gets Hurt Or Needs Help The Police/Ambulance Knows Where To Come . Even Though It Was Really Hot And Sweaty It Felt Good To Be Out In The Fresh Air.
