Conshohocken is considering four new pocket parks at various locations throughout the borough.

A quartet of pocket parks — small-scale green spaces of refreshment and renewal amid urban hustle-bustle — are under consideration by Conshohocken Borough Council. Kevin Tierney planted the plan’s specifics into a recent edition of More Than the Curve.

The four planned sites — two new, two already in early development — are intended to pop up around the borough at the following sites:

  • West Second Avenue and Fayette Street, present location of the Conshohocken Veterans Memorial
  • The former Raymond Ludwig Weinmann estate at 2 Harry Street, near the Schuylkill River Trail
  • Along the western 600 block of Fayette Street
  • East 8th Avenue and Fayette Street

The redesign of the first park, adjacent to the veteran’s memorial, retains that honorific. But design proposals include the addition of a stage (with partially covered lawn seating), hardscaping, and a traffic loop.

The Weinmann park will consist primarily of grass and trees with a walkway and some seating.
