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. The Frankford El makes a stop in the neighborhood at the Erie-Torresdale Station, located at the intersection of Kensington and Erie Avenues. In 1935, the Carl Mackley Apartments were constructed on Bristol Street. These were converted into Section 8 housing in 1999. Throughout much of the 20th century, Juniata was a working class, heavily unionized, Irish American community. White flight was a common occurrence in the neighborhood in the 1990s; today's Juniata is a mix of Whites and Hispanics. This newfound diversity has prompted some people to refer to the neighborhood as "Juanita." info provided by Wikipedia
