Clean and well maintained park with a nice, but small play set for smaller children

Small neighborhood park. It has a little playground area, with benches to sit on. The playground area has no swings. It looks like what they have at the schools in the area. Mostly for sitting and a walk through. Lots of trees and flowers are planted in the warmer months. Nice way to catch the breeze on a very hot day, as I did.

Good during the day time. Rather questionable at night.

Its a small quite get away. The constant shade makes it a great place to relax and read a book or listen to music. The other parks in the area are huge and noise, not saying Clark park isnt a nice place in West Philly but its not a place to go and relax. One of the problems the park has is the lack of benches. If you are looking to hang out than bring a chair.

Its nice if you have kids, as they will enjoy the swing set and play area. Other than that, it is a small grassy hill with a few benches. Nothing special. Locals and homeless people tend to hang out here, often smoking.

Heat playground for little kids. It doesnt have a flat grassy area if youre looking for a place to play ball. It is, however, full of trees so its nice and shady during the summer and has plenty to crunch in the fall.In the mornings, its mostly families and day area. Most of the day area who visit are very respectful of other kids--and often remind them to watch out for the babies.Plenty of adults use the park too. All of my friends have at least one story of people drinking or smoking pot near the playground. So as with any city park, just be aware of whats going on.

Small park for the neighbors. Close to a larger park but not as busy. Easier for young parents ( or babysitters) to feel comfortable.

I know its a public park but there was tons of trash and drug paraphernalia littered around. And witnessed a drug deal when my kids were there.

We love this park for our young children. Families visiting the playground are always very friendly, and its so much quieter than Malcolm X Park. There are sometimes people smoking weed, like at most city parks, but they do clear out away from the playground when kids show up.

I walk past this Park on my way to and from Aldi and other stores on 48th Street. Well maintained. Mostly used for dog walkers; local Elementary School uses the playground for their students. Friends of Barkan regularly clean and plant flowers within the Park.
