About
Pier 18 is Philadelphia’s unsanctioned street art museum. The site was abandoned by Conrail in 1991 and now the former anthracite coal-loading pier is a must visit for fans of outdoor art.
Formerly this pier was part of Reading Railroad’s Port Richmond Yards and while still officially private property, the park has some well worn pathways and thousands of pictures on Instagram to prove you're not the first to visit.
However, get off the beaten path though and this area is one is definitely for explorers.
