A beautiful space to walk through. Great addition to the Penn Campus. And you just might catch some great sports games being played down there.

Love walking here. Its mixture of athletic fields, inner-park bright lights, smooth walking surfaces, and security make it an ideal place to do some walking or jogging laps. The views of the skyscrapers are fantastic. It feels as though you can reach out and touch them. They need to do a little work around the perimeter because the areas lighting is dimmed by the trees. Five stars when they correct the lighting issues.

A nice sized park equipped with a baseball field and Soccer field. If sports isn’t really your thing there are some nice views of the city if you walk around the park. All in all definitely worth a visit!

The PPA are a bunch of crooks looking for innocent unsuspecting citizens to ticket for a profit so be careful and pay attention to your parking situations. The area us full of history and richness of colleges and the atmosphere of this.

One of the best parks in Philly. Sports centered, but still has some good spots to eat, read and relax.

Penn Park is really well cared for and set up. There are many fields and tennis courts, and there frequently seem to be pick up and rec games going on. There are picnic tables and benches dotted around, as well as a few tables concentrated in a section under some trees which is great for lunch or for meeting a group. There are also bathrooms behind the softball diamond, although it seems like some times they are just open, and other times you may need a Penn card to access.
