Herron Playground
Herron Playground, a city-owned facility managed by Philadelphia Parks & Recreation (PP&R), is located in a neighborhood served by a combined sewer system. Philadelphia Water collaborated with PP&R and the City’s Capital Program Office to design and construct an infiltration system as part of an overall reconstruction of the playground to manage both on-site and off-site runoff from the adjacent streets. The existing basketball court was reconstructed and resurfaced with porous asphalt. A subsurface infiltration system was installed beneath the basketball court area to manage stormwater runoff from portions of Earp Street. and American Street. The total area managed is approximately 13,000 square feet.
