Venice Island Performing Arts and Recreation Center, located in Manayunk, opened in October 2014. A park, recreation and performance center, Venice Island functions as both a community space and a green stormwater infrastructure hub between the Manayunk Canal and Schuylkill River.
Built on the site of an existing recreation center, the idea for the current Venice Island was established over a decade ago as a collaborative effort between several city departments (chief among them Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and Philadelphia Water) and nonprofit organizations, like the Manayunk Development Corporation.
The purpose of the Venice Island Performing Arts Center is to:
- Enhance the cultural experience and cultivate a deeper appreciation of the arts in the citizens of Philadelphia.
- Improve the breadth, and quality, diversity of creative opportunities for Philadelphians of all ages participating in recreation and city department programs.
- See that Venice Island is a vibrant, thriving destination enjoyed by residents and visitors of Philadelphia and the Manayunk community for years to come.
