Juniata, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Juniata (also known as Juniata Park) is a neighborhood in Northeast Philadelphia, which is a section of the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, however it is sometimes said to be in North Philadelphia because it is west of Frankford Creek. Juniata is located south of the Juniata Golf Club, a mini-course in Tacony Creek Park. It is bordered to the north and east by Frankford, to the northwest by Feltonville, to the west by Hunting Park, and to the south by Kensington and Port Richmond.
The golf course was designed by Ed Ault in 1930. It is a par 66 course that includes the Frankford Creek as a water feature in six of the holes.
Throughout much of the 20th century, Juniata was a working class, heavily unionized, Irish American community.
