Will the public be able to acess the waterfront once the Casino is open?
SugarHouse Casino has been designed with community interests in mind. Public access to the waterfront and treatment of the river’s edge is a vital component of the plan. A continuous pedestrian promenade is proposed along the entire length of the property, with public access at both Penn Street to the south and Shackamaxon Street to the north. The public will be welcome to use this space for strolling, jogging, biking and even fishing. To increase the sense of activity along the river’s edge, a number of the casino’s proposed restaurants, including a fine dining establishment, will be positioned along the waterfront. In time, we hope that this site will also include a water taxi and ferry service to facilitate easy access to and from points of interest along the burgeoning Philadelphia and Camden waterfronts.
