Realizing that there's lots to do in Philadelphia, but that it's more fun to do things in a group, the Social Committee has provided a way for residents who share similar interests to get together and participate in activities they enjoy. It's named the "The Piers Meetup Group", and it is exclusively for residents of Pier 3 and Pier 5. You can join by clicking on the link in the left column of this page.
We've posted information about various social activities on the site. There are many events planned for this summer, including a Pier's night at La Veranda on May 20, the Pier's Open Mini-Golf event on June 9 and a visit from the tug Jupiter later this summer. Check it out, and sign up.
MESSAGES TO THE BOARD
Board members will discuss matters brought to their attention at their next meeting and will respond to owners subsequent to that meeting. The easiest way to send a message to the Board or to the Community Manager is by using the links on the Owners page.
GET INVOLVED, STAY INFORMED
Race Street Pier
Pier 3 residents actively participated in the planning phases of the redevelopment of the Delaware River Waterfront. After all, it's our neighborhood, and we want it to be the best place to live in Philadelphia. It's very exciting to see the City of Philadelphia work with professional civic planners to help the Waterfront achieve its potential.
The first project to get off the starting block was the Race Street Pier. This was formerly known as Pier 11, and it is one block north of Pier 3 on Columbus Boulevard. Race Street Pier opened in mid-May 2011, and it is beautiful! The unique multi-leveled park offers the public the opportunity to get up close and personal with the Delaware River. Of course, as Pier 3 residents, we have that view already, but Race Street Pier is still worth the visit. It promises great things to come in our neighborhood.
The Delaware River Waterfront Corporation (DWRC) encourages local residents to stay informed of plans and developments on the Delaware River waterfront. Pier 3 is in the center of the action! For information on all DWRC plans and activities, visit http://www.plancentraldelaware.com/.
