The redesigned playground for children is beautiful and appropriate for all ages. Bonus that the climbing structure is fun for older kids. The park hosts some really nice events for kids and adults that weve enjoyed. Nice little farmers market on some weekends. The dog park gets muddy in wet weather so be aware of that. Gated and good for a little run around with other dogs. The open space between the playground and dog park is great for a picnic and has a perfect view of the train if you have a little one who would enjoy that.

Great public space! Aside from the pretzel statue, theres enough space to throw a frisbee, read a book on the lawn, take your kids to the playground, or take your more furry kids to the dog park. Theres plenty of bench space, places for wheelchair access, and a community book swap (forget what theyre called, book drop off of sorts). Its all close by to Main Street, has a weekly farmers market, and has hosted musicians and plays in the past. Good amount of shade for the summer days as well!

This is very near my sons home and our grandson loves it. They redid the playground last year and everything is new and there is a soft cushioned ground around the equipment.On Saturdays, late spring through fall, there is a farmers market in the morning.

Childhood playground!! They always keep up with it and you can follow the committee on IG whenever they have gatherings or free functions there..Also a dog park tho, while they keep the kids area separate the park is dog friendly so keep in mind.

Great place for families with kids and dogs. Theres a pretty good playground for the kids and an enclosed dog park for the dogs. Everyone is usually with their dogs and ensuring they get along. Have taken our dogs here many times. Would be cool if it could be leveled out with a top layer that allows the dogs to play but not in dirt. Park otherwise is great and has large trees for shade and picnic areas.

A cute LITTLE dog park set on a hill. It is part of a larger city park. Parking is tricky, however theres urban beauty all around: beautiful old churches, classic Philadelphia row houses and of course, a place for your dog to play.

This is a Nice little park. Very tiny space with a great vibe. The little park has a little library in park, people comes here to borrow books, while they borrow one, they leave one book as an exchange and a few features for kids as a play ground. Nice and relaxing place .

Pretzel Park very nice neighborhood park. Its a great place for a family picnic, play time for children, and with plenty of mature trees to sit under while talking with old friends, making new friends, and otherwise taking a moment to appreciate the local birds, bats and squirrels.

We discovered this park after dropping our daughter off at Merge Dance Studio! Our son is 2 and it is a great park to challenge him and work on his balance skills. We bring our scooters as well too! Plenty of parking nearby if needed.

Review №21

The new pretzel park is so nice and different from most parks, could use a rock wall and maybe better structurally designed climbing gym. Although the new climber is cool it only allows a child to really climb very little to none at all

Another good dog park. New play ground for kids. Clean and safe. Plenty of summer events.

Review №23

Great place to bring the kids. I just think they should have vending machines or at least sell pretzels.... Hence the name. Other than that i give it an A+ for cleanliness of the park, & updated equipment.

Love those orange cookies from the one cookie lady, the sweet corn from the Amish people and the dog treats from the one vendor were great. Excellent place to visit and buy some fantastic produce from some great people and sometimes enjoy live bands that play great music.

Went to this park because they were hosting a witches market. Fabulous time it was raining rather heavy, however alot of people were out RAIN OR SHINE. The vendors at this event are amazing, great way of making connections. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the market that day. Pretzel park was big enough to hmmmm ost the 10 to 12 vendors that beautiful sunday afternoon.

The park is a good size and has a nice airlock style gate. The walls/fences are sturdy and are high enough to keep most dogs in. There is a working dog fountain so they have unlimited water, and the entire area is shaded and comfortable. All in all, a great dog park.

This is a nice park to bring kids to. Its not very big but the equipment is well maintained. There is also a separate dog park area. There isnt much parking nearby or bathrooms though, but a great place if you live within walking distance.

I love going to the little dog park with Bella. She always finds toys and whatnot and looks forward to our walks. Its a small park but has a playground for kids and some adults. Theres also a little leave a book-take a book library that no one uses, but at least its there. Maybe someone will leave a postcard there someday for someone else. One can only dream.Overall, cute park.

Pretzel Park is a great place to go for the whole family. It has a dog park and a playground. We were there for ShakesBEER in the park which is always a fun event put on by the Manayunk Theatre Company. If you enjoy your time here dont forget to support the park through the Friends of Pretzel Park.

Nice neighborhood park. Nothing fancy, a couple swings, some monkey bars. Lots of shade trees (some good for climbing), plenty of room to run around but not big enough to get lost. Benches to sit on, a book exchange, and a dog park off to the side.

Very well kept park in Manayunk. Some say it is called that because of the walkways are shaped like a pretzel and others say it is because of the pretzel vendors that were there back in the day.

A lovely green oasis in the heart of Manayunk. It has a nice dog park and a brand new playground was just installed. There are always community events going on here, so make sure you check out the events sign by Cresson Street entrance.

One of the best parks in Philly, with a fenced in dog park, decent sized green space, and newly redone playground.

Review №51

This is a beautiful place and nice dog park but seriously needs a taller fence along the brick wall and in the corner. Its very unsafe. My dog is 30lbs and small but his prey drive kicks in when he sees the squirrels and he jumped on top of the highest point of the brick wall and walked on top then was loose in the park. Luckily he listens to me but still I shouldnt have to worry about my dog escaping at an actual dog park.

Nice bit of nature in the city. There is a church on either side of the park. Down the hill is a cobblestone road under and just past that is the main road. I saw a number if benches and friendly people walking their dogs or just hanging out.

Review №66

Mulch foundation, so be ready for your dog to get somewhat dirty. Good that theres a water fountain. One size park, so small and big dogs will have to share the space. Be mindful of your dog near the wall, its a short wall and can be jumped. Depending if youre up or down the hill, the sidewalk will be a short or tall drop.

Small dog park near downtown manayunk. Very muddy overall but gated nonetheless.

Review №78

Perhaps this dog park is good for less athletic dogs, but the wall guarding the park from the street is very low. My dog easily jumped it and almost ran away. Luckily, I was able to use my come command and get her back in my arms. I cant recommend this to anyone. Too risky, the street is right next to this wall so it would be very simple for a dog to jump the wall and go straight into traffic.

Review №83

This is a great park for dogs, but it is just OK for kids. The playground equipment looks more like a work of sculpture art than actual playground equipment for kids. There are a few swings, a small slide, and that is about it. Most of the playground equipment is run down and has been vandalized by the local teenagers; kids will be kids. However, this is the best park in the area and I REALLY hope the neighborhood upgrades playground soon.

Review №85

A nice park in a good location. There is a fenced-off dog park portion, which is good for non-dog owners like me who dont want to deal with dogs or their messes. The park has playground equipment that seems fun, but perhaps challenging for younger children. The park is a welcome stroll as we walk from the area around the historic churches to Main Street.

Average city park, but this one contains a fenced off dog park as well. On weekends there is a small farmers market and live entertainment when it is nice out. Great small town field in the middle of a big city.

Its a small park with a small playground right behind the train tracks. The playground could definitely use a make over, but its good enough to give your kids some space to get some energy out if your in the neighborhood.

Located in Manayunk. Attended the fall festival which was a nice event.. live band and vendors. Manayunk is a great section to visit if you coming to Philly. Lots of restaurants and shops.
