The most underrated park in the city. Amazing unobstructed views of Center City. Perfect for a day time or night time visit.

A great place for Drexel students and other members of the local community alike to spend time at a well kept park and one that is safely patrolled by Drexel police and security. As it is not fenced in, walking a dog there one must be cautious and keep a pair of eyeballs on their little furry buddy. Fortunately for me, my beloved Carmen is mostly into chasing balls and other dogs than worried about straying too far for comfort. Overall recommend this park for dog walks/ meeting other dogs, city view, as well as students and local community gathering briefly.

Nice and clean, great place to bring your dog to play with other dogs. Be wary as some owners do not pick up after their dogs and you may step in something if you arent careful.

Really nice park! Free parking. I usually park here and then Uber into center city (for $4) so I dont have to pay $35 to park in a parking garage. Cute neighborhood! Mainly students.

This park is great for a scenic view of the city, relaxing/sunbathing, and taking your dog to. I mainly come here to play with my dog as there are usually other dogs for her to play with. The park is kept clean and is visited by many friendly people.

Great place in the city to come and relax or just toss the football around. This place no matter what time of year it is always yields good pictures. Anytime I need to sit back and reflect I come here and the best thing about it is that its easy to reach from anywhere in the city

It is not a park, rather reminds me of Eastern Bloc Soviet imprisonment. 5/5 at invoking depression and sadness

I come almost daily with my dog. Younger, college crowd with a few older locals. One of the best skyline views of the city Philadelphia has to offer. Public availability is (seldom) limited by Drexel Events every now and again.

There is no finer example of Drexel green-space. In fact, it is one of the few examples. Pack a picnic, invite the friends, and head out into the grass. In reality, its just a large mound of dirt with small trees that provide no shade. Amenities are limited and the paths are too rough for many wheel-based activities. On a nice day, youll find loads of dogs, some white people playing frisbee, and bros trying to slackline between the incredibly small trees. Students will lay out and study. Here at Drexel, we make do with what we have- because we really dont have much!
