Cool park minutes from Chinatown. I visited this park for the Chinese lantern festival. The park was not too large. This park has a nice children's play area, beer garden, mini golf, food stands, a couple large lawns, and a center fountain. It was very crowded at the festival, but would imagine it would be nice to come here just to relax and have a picnic lunch.

It's a nice little public area right in the heart of downtown would totally recommend it if you need to take a seat for something or just let the kids blow off some steam at the playground.

This park is huge. Every Sunday in the fall they hold the cross country races for local schools. Parking is hard to find during the races but it’s fun to attend. People regularly use this park for runs and Exercising. Lots of space to explore!

This park is an oasis of relaxation for me from my travels in Philly. I felt I could relax there being a transgender woman in the city of brotherly/sisterly LOVE. I had a great time in the park and enjoyed the old school atmosphere. It REMINDED me of my youth. I highly recommend this park.

Gorgeous little park! I went a few days ago after the tree lighting and it was so pretty and peaceful in here. I loved seeing all the lights, Christmas tree and the big empty fountain which I'm sure is super gorgeous when it's all filled up in the spring and summer. It's a quiet little pocket of the city!
