We didnt access the facility, we went to their backgrounds park. And while I were there with my two grandchildren.There were a lot of decent and caring parents there. On the field with their little lead football teams.We set up a friendly environment for our children, individually.Kids rule!

This park is a very nice place to have a quiet sit down to just relax to play sports and to bring your little kids to

The place looks great. Once broke my arm there, the basket-ball Court needs some work. Concerned for my friends who play there. Its all concrete and they could break something there. Otherwise. Great place to hang out. Recommend!

Ever since they redid this place, its beautiful! I live just two blocks away so I take my 3 year old son here just about every day, weather permitting. I love that the ground is made of soft foam instead of mulch. The playground is new and safe. Theres a small one and a larger one. Theres a good amount of sitting area. My only complaint is that they only have baby swings and not ones for older kids. I cant wait until summer to try out their pool.

It is a fun place to go after school or after anything that you have previously done that day and get off some steam by playing basketball/baseball or if you have kids they also have a really nice playground very up to date. But my one problem is that it gets very crowded.

Fun place to bring kids. Huge field for anything you can think to do, mostly used for sports. Basketball court and pool, pretty popular. Not much protection from the heat, as most of it is in the sun, but otherwise definitely a great place.

I love Murphy Rec center because they keep the pool very clean and they dont allow horseplay. I also like they only allow a certain people count. Its the best pool in South Philly.

They recently re did this park and it is really nice. Raised the rent by $300 on the blocks around it so it did alot for the neighborhood. I do not understand why there is no locker room. Kids can not use the bathroom from the poll so you know where they are going to the bathroom. There is a great staff. One of the best life guards ever but the lack of locker room ruins it. Also the way the field is faced is so awkward and people let their dogs poop all over the field. There should be more fines maybe cameras to prevent that. Clean up the Whitman neighborhood!! For the kids!!

Review №25

Small play area (slide, climbing net, bucket swings) with soft rubber floor tho avoid hard falls, large field to run in and play ball, public pool, havent been inside the rec center but saw people coming out with basketballs. The location is not the safest so Id suggest going early. Close to shopping.

Wasted my time because they couldnt be bothered to post online that a swim meet was taking place. No website, and a phone number that is disconnected. Its 2018, this is ridiculous. Get it together.

Has alot to offer. One of the cleanest public swimming pools. Inside and outside basketball courts, fooltball, baseball, and soccer field. Also has gym a little gym inside and is free to use. The playground area really needs to be updated, the mats are run down and the metal bars on the swings are rusty. It also is kind of dirty with the swings are.UPDATE: They rebuilt the playground, pics to come!
