Lovely part of Philadelphia. The park, Fairmont Park. We used to hang out here in the. Spring,summer and fall. Even in winter it was a glorious looking place. This is what people used to do before social media stole everybodys social skills. Summer time from the video of Will Smith. He knew it just like we all did.

Great place for a picnic with a view of the Philly skyline. Plenty of parking, though it can get busy in the evenings. This area of the park is pretty popular and the grounds are well maintained.

This has to be the observation deck that crowd intended to view the city of Philadelphia from. The splendor of the city is so apparent when youre sitting back on Belmont plateau and just enjoying the view. You become one with the city enjoying a moment of Zen? Overall it is at least a once per summer outing that Philadelphias should try to make. if you want to appreciate the visual stunningness of this city its a great spot to do it from. Enjoy!

This is a great place to relax. There’s lots of space and picnic areas and a great view of the city.Its excellent for large gatherings cookouts or picnics.The best time to come in Sunday.

Great spot for socializing and taking in the rays in a chair. You could fall asleep in a book or even gaze the plain and ponder off into a fantasy. The overall experience of this space is exceptional!! The area is wide open! I hate the dirt bikes noise I wish they would keep that on one side of the park. I still give it a 5 ️ for having the best space layout! Come and join us in Philadelphia!!! You’ll love it!!!

Ive been coming here all my life its one of the best spots in West Philly. Due to COVID-19 however the road up the hill is blocked from both directions. However, folks have been parking and relaxing. Theres plenty of space here to spread out and relax. Good stewards of this space clean up after themselves too. Everything that came with into the park should be leaving with when youre done.

Gorgeous place to mediate and view the city.

A nice place to go for site view of Philadelphia city and solitude.... at the Fairmount park...

We had an awesome experience with a few family and friends.

Beautiful peaceful place. Great view of the City.

Nice and fairly close view of the Philly Skyline. Easy to get to. What can be either a treat or a disturbance for photographers is the large tree in the middle of the view. One can take left or right views of the skyline. But if you want the full skyline you need to walk a little into the lawn area or make the tree a center piece of your images.

Pictures do not do it justice. Great view of the city as well.

One of the most iconic views in Philly! Must see! Fairmount Park is one of the biggest city parks in the country!

I wish they would add more trash cans and clean the area up more. I’m tired of seeing trash in lot/grass area

U can see the whole city skyline from this vantage point!

Great place to chill at and get a phenomenal view of the city

Fresh air the valley its much cooler under the trees miles of open space

The place to Chill I been comming here sense, Bob Marley Day in the 90s . DA GREEK!! .Up like 7 .Sunday is di best Day .Come out, Big it Up

Lots of space great view of the city

Love it! So quiet and spacious!! If you wanna go somewhere to relax and clear your mind, this is the place!

GREAT VIEWS OF CENTERCITY

I love going to the Plat. Been going there for years and years. The city keeps the park immaculate. You can always find people parked just hanging out with family or friends. Its a relaxed atmosphere. Everyone just wants to have a good time. The cops drive through regularly. Ive never experienced anything untoward while going to this park. I definitely recommend.

Is my first time being there and i really love it

Stunning views of the city sky line! Beautiful park!

Weather is nice. Lots of parking, but because of Corona scare, people left trash on the grassy area. Needs more trash cans than just one overfilled one.

Good view of the city and a nice big field. Some trash and cans were there - could have been cleaner.

Its the best place to chill!

Beautiful scenic area, park benches, picnic areas, and walking trails. One of the must see places in Philadelphia. Great for a variety of occasions.

So nice. Bring bug spray!

Cool spot to have a picnic

The grass needs cutting but great view of the city

Nice place to have a cookout or even workout

The view is beautiful

Such a nice place. Clean kid friendly pet friendly. Nice trails to go for a walk.

Great place to kick back, crack open a beer with your buds and relax ! The views from here are amazing, you can see the entire city from the hilltop. I definitely recommend you check this place out on any of your adventures in The City Of Brotherly Love

Good Vibes beautiful women great food love all the cars!

They view of the city is amazing.

Best park in Philly. 3+ lots of parking along Belmont Mansion Drive. Bicycle and running trails available. Great views of the skyline. Benches available. Sometimes events are held here.Bikers and people on quads ride around occasionally but they are very friendly. Well known Philly chill spot by locals.

Cool park and clean

Love going there to relax

Me an my furbabyie love the plateau its so beautiful

One of my favorite places in Philly. Great views of the skyline and usually very peaceful!

Great place to smoke and look at the city. Or other park things.

Great veiws

Nice park to hang out, exercise, bike, walk, picnic, etc. Ground are kept well. Great picturesque view of the city. An iconic West Philly spot. Its the same plateau that Will Smith mentions in his song Summertime.

The number one and best place to view our beautiful city hands down

There are many majestic views in Philadelphia...this spot..has all the memories..of Rock..and soul music and jazz..just sitting in this atmosphere...makes the world a wonderful place...take that and put your cool self..on that hill...and laugh..with the best... Belmont Plateau

It’s a nice place to go to, and to look at the Philadelphia Skyline, but it’s absolute hell when it comes to 5k cross country races.

Great but needs to be worked on.

Nice view

The park is very nice. A handful of places to sit on picnic tables and a lot of field space to play sports. The park was clean and had a handful of trash cans around the parking lot. Although, I probably only saw one portable restroom available, and its not very relaxing when there are dirt bikes doing wheelies in the parking lot or ATVs driving along the park grass.

Daily Operation

Great site for early morning photography. Kind of a “party place” at noght

Great place to relax and get your thoughts together

The place called the plateau is where everybody go !!

Good place for cardio

Always love this place. Comfort

Beautiful view of the city skyline great for pictures!

Great view of the city, perfect spot for bbq or picnics. The plateau is open yet surrounded by trees and still within the city. Also home to the Philadelphia Horticultural Society HQ building/mansion jawn

My favorite smoke spot with an amazing view of the city

Best place for couples to make out...

Great biking trails

Beautiful

I dont really like cross country. Great if you want to take a ride.

Amazing view

Its a great place to chill out, and see the City skyline.

The historical Belmont Plateau, is a legendary park, the best chill out spot in Philly. Period!

Best view of Philly anywhere. Nature in the foreground, skyline in the background. Beautiful!

Wicked hard xc course

Fantastic view of center city Philadelphia.

Go up at night, look at the city, ignore the smog the has you observing a gray sky with no stars, have a drink or smoke a little, have a lovely night until cops come and decide everyone is being too peaceful and shuts it down cause theyre bored and want to leave.

Best time to go is during the spring and summer where you can appreciate the beauty of the park. A bad time to go is at night since many people come and park their cars. Great place for families.

This is a good place to have a BBQ with friends and family.. And at night you can sit and see all the beautiful buildings lights a beautiful view.

Nice grassy area to post up and chill maybe fire up the grill

Amazing view of the center of the city of Philadelphia. A must see whether you are a resident or tourist.

Awesome view
