This is a nice park right in the middle of an upper scale neighborhood. The trees are beautiful and there are plenty of benches to relax. On Saturday and Sunday mornings they have a farmers market with fresh plants and produce. Defiantly a place to visit for tourists and locals. The only issue is there are a lot of homeless who occupy many of the benches. That’s actually okay by me being a public park, but there is an odor at times.

Rittenhouse square is the park in the center of Philadelphia’s most posh neighborhood. It’s a very nice park, perfect for a stroll, a picnic, or just relaxing on a bench. There are farmers markets in the spring, and an art festival in the summer, and a sufficient police presence.

Nice park right in the center of the city. The farmers market on Saturday mornings is always filled with vendors offering high quality local products. Its great to bring lunch and sit on a blanket or on a bench. The only problem would be the amount of homeless people at certain times. I wouldnt suggest staying here late at night.

A nice place to go beautiful Park healthy trees very nice atmosphere the people in this area are good people I felt very very safe in this area compared to some areas in the city. Other neighborhoods you learn a lesson from this area if you want to improve in the way people think about other neighborhoods they should do something about it and clean up their image.

During my visit, the autumn leaves were falling, there were many small performances and it was such a pretty and fun experience! great place for pictures, great place to pet dogs philadelphia haha!

Oh its such a lovely park right in the middle of the city!! Full of beautiful dogs :)

Pure photographic pleasure. No hard lines of peopled traffic. History abounds. Welcoming green space. Breath of fresh air.

Its always nice coming to this area. A calming, grassy area, where families are spending time, and pets are always relaxing, in a bustling city like Philly, its nice to just go there.

Nicely maintained park with mature trees and ample benches. Also conveniently near to many eateries just a couple of blocks north for takeout to the park.

Parks are sometimes a place you want to park your automobile... Theyre so blighted, yet Rittenhouse absolutely, as it seems flawlessly to effortlessly, crushes that poor park parking lot trend. Id go one star further here + and say maybe Id park myself here happily for life. Okay, its a smaller gesture, but I think 365-247 for lunch break is enough!

What can be said about this park that isnt obvious? Its a darling of the natural spaces in the city; very cute, and bustling with people and pups. Theres a great selection of restaurants and cafés in the immediate area and its not far from popular retail stores. Its really a great space to pause for a picturesque rest or meet up with friends for a picnic.

Although surround by affluence The Square is still a very eclectic and friendly park welcoming to all... No smoking park and each of the entrance areas has cubbies with doggie do bags if you are short... Seems people are very good about that.

A calm green island in the city. Rittenhouse was designed to serve the very purpose it serves, and has served for hundreds of years. It is a great place just to sit, relax and dog- people-watch

Nice park with people walking dogs,running,doing yoga,etc. Is homeless people also but is still a great place to unwind if in area. Grab a bite from vendor on corner and you are good to go

It is a very relaxing place. A little touch of nature in center city

Ive been visiting Rittenhouse Square since Im 10. I still love it at 63. It is beautiful, has a lot of benches, a pool that is usually empty and children play in it. Lots of green and trees.

The atmosphere and people were very friendly. I had my dog and she loved seeing other dogs. The food from the vegan restaurants was amazing.

Fun park in center city. Nice area. A good amount of historical statues and readings. Nothing very unique about it, hence the 4. But still a nice setting nevertheless.

It was very diverse. You had people walking their pure breed dogs( the dog were fantastic) Children playing. Everyone at a social distance. Average people sitting on benches. You also had homeless sleeping on bench. Homeless digging in trash. The park was beautiful clean.

I used to go and sit here when I lived on 1700 Jordanian(?) Street... They used to be a movie house not far from there, across the street I think on Walnut Street. I always love to go down South Street there used to be a guy there at night who would stand outside and play the sax but I like this park of course its surrounded by very high price apartment buildings and the wealthy, but all in all its a place to go to think when you need to get away from a lot of the hustle and bustle.

This exquisite park is the most popular and sophisticated block in Philly. Spot fashion and freak wear all over this borderline coronavirus hotspot. The greatest concentration of fringe, and centuries old, architecture surrounds this square within near blocks in every direction.

Such a cool place with a lot going on. Great picnic spot, day or night, if the weather cooperates.

Gives me a nice quiet place to sit and relax. I enjoyed seeing people happy and enjoying themselves while leaving smartphones behind for a few hours.

Always beautiful, but it can be a bit crowded. Especially during Covid. Lots of great restaurants and coffee shops nearby, as well as shopping.

Beautiful park. Lots of dogs. Benches to sit and enjoy the squirrels.

Part of Penns original plan for the city, still a lively and beautiful park.

Busy park with plenty of benches, grassy areas for picnics. Surrounded by restaurants and coffee shops. Great little area of center city

Very quaint park. A lot of benches for people to sit. A lot of grassy areas for people to picnic. Very cute. I love to go and see all the people come together.cWhen I was there, I witnessed a women give a homeless man a haircut. There was a farmers market as well. So much to see.

Aside from the homeless bums, still a great park all year round

Always a pleasure.The grand lady of City parks.

Lovely park. Sometimes a bit crowded but overall very pleasant to visit

Who doesnt love Rittenhouse Square? A beautiful oasis in the heart ️ of Center City.

Went to the farmers market which was well stocked. They tried hard to keep social distancing in check.

I love this park. It’s beautiful, clean and relaxing. Surrounded by a few restaurants, hotels and residential buildings within walking distance of everything center city has to offer. The landscaping is well maintained throughout the year which keeps the park looking great. It contains a few water features which offer a great spot to take pictures. They have events at the park sometimes during the year. I attended a gala here once and it was perfect.

Lovely park with a fountain and sculptures and flowers. Well maintained, lots of people, children, and pets. On the warm, humid day we were there, the fireflies started peeking out at about 7:30 pm. Cutest thing was watching the dogs happily visit the center guard shack to beg a milk bone and visit with the attendant, tails wagging and owners smiling. Lots of benches and places to sit and well maintained lawns. Beautiful!

Always great eventhough you cant sit there not drink good coffee

Always good to climb on beautiful sculptures.

BEEN HANGIN AND WORKININ THIS AREA FOR DECADES...SPENT MANY A DAY ON A BENCH,WALL OR THE GRASS JUST CHILLIN....

Covid-19 safety precautions well in place. I went to Rouge and they had some pretty good drinks.

Beautiful spacious park in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city, plenty of room to have your own space to relax.

Lovely little park to relax, stroll or just sip some coffee.

Tremendous square. Great atmosphere. Nice benches

One of my favorite things to do...especially market days.

This square is the one with the most people coming from the city center. Now the trees in the spring are all green, and it is a very happy time to sit here and have a lunch. It’s also great to have a date with friends here on weekends. There are many people walking and jogging in this square. I really like it here.

Best people-watching and dog-watching park in the city. Musicians, dancers, artists, poets! A shady green oasis with lots of food, drinks, and shopping right nearby, close to all forms of transit.

This is a lovely place to spend some time. Family friendly, dog friendly, relaxed atmosphere with well groomed gardens. This park is surrounded by shops and restaurants. Plenty of street parking.

Friendly, peaceful, family oriented, pet oriented. Nice and clean. I enjoy being in the area when I’m able. Great place for a little picnic with loved ones

Ritten House has one of most enjoyable park in the city a lot gojng on here be sure to drop by you see whT I mean

We bought Sushi and went to Rittenhouse square to sit on a blanket. I are dinner with two of my favorite people. It was relaxing peoe watching.

When visiting Center City, taking a rest and sitting in one of the many benches at Rittenhouse Square is always a good idea. Great for people watching, also have spotted a falcon or hawk before, Saturday mornings they have their farmers market and Sunsets bathroom dancing when the weather is nice. Very convenient to the area shops and restaurants and beautiful especially during the fall. They also have art shows about 3 times a year.

Lovely farmers market. Lots to choose from and buy.

Its a beautiful park that is easy to fall in love with!

I had to go to this place because the news painted a very Bleak picture they stated that the park was destroyed because of George Floyd that is not true I have pictures and videos for over beautiful part come out and enjoy everybodys always there its always beautiful and peaceful

Sooo many benches to stop & break. Krafty tents to shop. Music, trees, and people make RHSQ like ecstasy. Mwah; )

Lovely park. Nice area. Loved the Philadelphia Conservatory building

Easily accessible, busy but rarely crowded, green space in Philly.

Its a beautiful park near the Rittenhouse Hotel. A nice, quiet area in Philly.

Calm spot in the midst of a busy and hectic cennter city!

Very beautiful. Excellent place to walk around

Beautiful. Had the street closed on one side for outdoor dining.

Not that busy but the view can get boring to look at after a few sittings.

A beautiful November day. what a gift!

A nice gem hidden in the city. It was very empty when I was there. Very peaceful.

Actually this particular summer dusk, it was quite interesting. There is an extremely out of place creature roaming, not avoiding anyone, that took three of us a pretty embarrassing while to finally identify as a baby quail.

Always wanted to visit. Got my chance its a great vibe

Rittenhouse is your quintessential Center City Philly Square full of happy eccentric people enjoying a nice spring day.

Clean, peaceful, one of the few places left in Philadelphia where people are not nodding out or asking you for a dollar every 3ft you step!

It used to be a nice quiet place now its overpacked

Really pretty and kept well! Lots of dogs and pokemon :)

One of my favorite places to just be. One can spend countless hours people and dog watching. This park is filled with life.

I love Philadelphia! 5 star city all the way

Clean and comfotable. Centrally located and in walking distance to park stores and restaurants. Staff helpful and knowledgeable

Beautiful park. Ate lunch on a bench on a gorgeous day outside.

The park has beautiful beds of flowers...and its also kids friendly park. Loved it in all seasons....

Excellent park right in the heart of Philly trees nice places to sit down out of the hot day nice greenery people walking around and sometimes they have flea markets or special events happening here its a beautiful place matter fact Ill take a picture I recommend

Beautiful park to relax or picnic.

Rittenhouse square is somewhere to see a little bit of everything. On a nice sunny day with a breeze, youll find lots of people lounging on the benches and the grass, listening to the sounds of nature, the city, and buskers. A great place to relax or take a walk, Rittenhouse Square is uniquely communal area in the city.

Very happy place to be here on Sunday Farmers Makert. If you are in Philadelphia, this is the must place to be. I really enjoy walking around and check out what kind products, vegetables, plants, herbs, and seafoods are out there. They all look tasteful and Beaty is that many are organically grow with much of attention.

Great place to mingle and meet up.

The park is pretty just a very boouji area

Could use some more upkeep in terms of cleanliness, but overall a good city park that sees lots of daily use.

Love this Park spent a lot of time back in the 80s there

Such a pretty oasis from the blistering city with lots of shade, benches and flora to enjoy.

Love this park! True taste of the city!

It is a very beautiful and quiet park

It was spacious. A meeting place.

Gorgeous place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or a picnic. Always a place to sit and a lovely view.

It’s the perfect place for a picnic and there’s always plenty of dogs to pet! (plus the person in the little hut sometimes gives out dog treats so that’s a plus if you have a furry friend). Plenty of benches too so you can sit and enjoy it for a while

Lots of pigeons. The guy on the bench across from us fell asleep, it was a really beautiful day today!

Really nice park. Well maintained, loads of benches, pretty flowers.

Got a good spot with a blanket and enjoyed a book and some sunshine!

Everything is all good in Rittenhouse

Favorite park in center city besides Washington Square Park very similar!

During hot summer days it is a must to stop under shaded areas. This Square has all that and a bit more. Many take a respite and look at the reflecting pool which is quite nice to take pictures. They always interesting festivals happening here.

If you want to have a good time so you have to visit the square

Rittenhouse sq found that more people are smoking pot and others are riding bikes, both things are prohibited in the park, ruining an otherwise pleasant experience.

Amazing during the fall, was quite lovely to visit in December as well. The lights that come up after sunset make the park look lovely. People often visit the park with their pets and which makes the visit that more special, getting to see cute cats and dogs while enjoying a book is a nice experience tbh.

Its a nice place to sit down and relax when walking into center city from university city. Its near dibruno brothers and target

Just a big empty space. Nothing exciting.

Like to walk my dog here and there are few good coffee shops near the park.
