Great place to bring your kids, bring your dog, heck bring the whole family!!! It has a large size playground. A nice area to gather with other avid dog lovers. Surrounding the depression is lovely open area for a picnic. Also, a perfect meeting ground for social activities. On certain Saturdays, the have a huge flea market type bazaar too! All in all, whatever youre looking for in an outing youll find here. Except maybe public restrooms. There are local businesses in the immediate vicinity. Starbuck is 2 blocks from here heading south then east, and a restaurant on Baltimore ave, to the north of the park.

Great park in the heart of West Philly. Typically, during non COVID times, you can catch a large variety of events from Shakespeare in the Park, to live music, Flea markets, movies, and more. There is also a small public market every Thursday and Saturday worth checking out. If nothing else, it’s a perfect place to watch some expert chess players compete or simply sit in the grass and relax.

Its too crowded... Only because of the covid..I dont think it should be that many people in one area. Plus its only one machine for the whole produce market and I have bad knees and a bad back. I cant keep going back and forth for my fries and veggies.. Its too much of a Hassel especially for the elderly or physically challenged..ijs

Very spacious; very wide open. Everyone from every walk of life was there the day I went and it was beautiful because everyone was social distancing, yet having fun. I went for the statue of Charles Dickens and it wasnt a disappointment.

Perfect neighborhood park, with something for everyone. Large playground for the kids, full size basketball court, chess tables (for when you need to get schooled by an old head), Farmers Market on the weekend for your weekly fresh produce, lots of green space to spread out a blanket and picnic. Plus fire spinning in the bowl every full moon!

The early morning exercisers were socially distancing and wearing masks. Signs remind visitors that its a smoke free park and to observe pandemic precautions. Food trucks and the Saturday farmers market have returned. Things get a little close when the chess games get heated with the onlookers crowding. The homeless staying in the park seem to stick to themselves and clean up when they leave. The park isnt technically patrolled by the security forces or police but there is a nearby presence should the need arise

Clark park has fun interesting events such as street closing farmers markets and an area were every Saturday a bunch of children (under supervision of adults) beat each other up with foam rubber weapons. Their are Intense games of chess (kinda hard to explain) Plenty of seating, and a nice shaded area for laying out.

An excellent Place full of diversity that are wonderful. You can see jugglers who juggle fire balls. You can see plays. Musical events. Tightrope Walkers just practicing for no particular reason. And a beautiful diversity of people from all cultures just getting along. Some are dressed in traditional cultural garb and its a beautiful beautiful thing to behold. They also have flea markets there and theyre awesome to go to 1 Durham place. Every single Saturday they have an Amish market there and it is awesome. I highly recommend this place very kid friendly

Fun playground and park. Pretty clean. Could use a bit more care/love from the city or whoever to make it a bit fresher for the kids, but my child always loves to go from the playground to running around in the field. Easy to walk to or get to via public transportation.

Trash everywhere especially by the parking lot next to the basketball court.Seems like a good park if you are a dog owner as there is a large area at the bottom of the hill. Off leash dogs can be seen roaming freely with no supervision.

Impressed at how this park has improved over the past 2 decades. Visited on a beautiful spring Saturday morning, trees were in bloom, couples were placing blankets down to enjoy their morning, and a lively farmers market adorned a closed off section of street.

What can i say, its Clark Park. Tons of stuff going on, theres plenty of (seasonal) farmers markets, occasionally a great big flea market/swap meet. Theyve got one of like two existing public statues of Charles Dickens. Dont let people get your hopes up too much about the Turtle - its only like knee-high. Looks cool though, your kid will like it. Also you can lose at chess to the guys at the tables year-round, weather permitting.

Theres a lot of room here, and they put on a bunch of events which works really well in this space. As far as just wanting to get away from the city and take in some nature, its okay. Decent play area for kids, enough benches to just have a seat. Not spectacular, but it definitely is way better as a park than a parking lot

Review №94

Great public space in University City / West Philly. So much too talk about.Plenty to space for kids to run around, theres a kids capture the flag game every weekend. There are public tables and chairs in a large gravel circle next to Baltimore avenue, people eat, drink and hang out there. Theres a farmers market every Saturday, with produce and goods from local farms and producers.The other side of Clark park, across Chester Ave has 2 kids playgrounds and swing sets. Theres the dog bowl where dogs seem to run free at times, which also hosts kids soccer games. Theres also a basketball court closer to USP.Theres also a busy schedule of events on the boards, a couple of highlights are the Clark Park fair - the flea market, Shakespeare in the park and local food trucks.

Summer fav hangout park near my home! Love the high trees and natural sound of birds and insects. You can have small group picnics or just lay down and read a book chapter.
