Stephanie B. • May 2, 2017My son and I love smith - especially the big wooden slide

Enrico • July 24, 2016This place is a hidden gem in Philadelphia. Entry is $8/$5. In spring and in fall it can be cool to go there, sit down in the garden and relax. In the summer it can be a bit too hot inside (No AC)

David H. • June 9, 2015Awesome park. Running trails are a good loop and you can watch trains and soccer games and connect to the river trail/boardwalk easily.

Carol • July 18, 2021Lovely rooftop outdoor space with movie screenings, live music all day, eatery, and green spaces. Good views of the city. The hibiscus crush was perfect

Nohra M. • June 28, 2016When on Locust Walk, it feels like you're indoors because of the canopy of trees. The end takes you to around 40th and Walnut Street, about the border of Penn's campus, after crossing the bridge.

Khara L. • November 24, 2014A small, clean park to take the little ones..
