Kids will love the stream running thru the rocks and trees. Nicely shaded. Sat on a rock with my feet in the stream, reading a book. In the middle of the city, so peaceful.

Beautiful spot to catch up with family, friends or colleagues. Its relaxing, peacefull & amazing. Theres a cafe in site, a TGIF across the street and a Subway two blocks away. If youre looking for a spot to eat. Has a clear view of the Benjamin Parkway, all the way to the Museum of Arts.

Sister Cities Park is a great place to bring kids, particularly on warm summer days. The water features are fun, with a splash pad, a wading pool, and a fun little river that feeds into the pool. There is a cart with kids books to read, and a good amount of shade on the water and in the surrounding lawn. The cafe has coffee, soft drinks, snacks, and restrooms. The Franklin Institute, Academy of Natural Sciences (dinosaurs!) and the Parkway Central Library are all around Logan Square nearby as well.

Awesome place for kids, no, for everyone! Great clean water. Lots of fun and perfect,flat, grassy areas for running. Stroller parking zone, and a natural-like hill stream of flowing water. I cannot believe I never came. Will plan on taking my toddler again. Super super fun. Clean facilities. Totally worth it. The water is just perfect for young kids. Love the trail that goes up to the top of the rocks. Im told theres more free parking behind the Free Library.

This is just one of the best places in Philadelphia for children in the summer. The park itself is small but might! There are two different water play areas. One is a small playful fountain that the kids can run in and through. The other is a much more imersive and exploratory creek which is completely fenced in and kids and play in for hours. It empties into a six inch (or so) deep pool which is also plenty big to hold lots of kids.Within the park there is a cafe with public restrooms and kids off outside seeing. Youre also a short walk from the Franklin Institute and the Academy of Natural Sciences.

This is a great park for toddlers and young kids. There is an area of the park with water spouts so kids can splash and run through. Another part of the park has a pool with little waterfalls running under the walkways. Wonderful place to pass time with your family. Moms and dads - please respect all rules of the park so we can all keep enjoying it!

Its usually a family place where they can sit on the grass, in the summer time, and have a picnic or just relax. There is a restroom, a small cafe and its just peaceful.

This is a nice little park tucked off the parkway. Decent sized space where there were a few people enjoying the shade. Theres a little coffee shop also located on the park, where the staff were very friendly.

This is a fun place to take kids when the weather gets hot. Theres a spraying fountain and a little sitting pool. The sitting pool is only like 6 inches deep. Little ones can sit in it and still be above water.

Review №31

Interesting water fountain... Theres no basin. Other than that it was a quiet, relaxing spot, being located in the city as it were. Its not a large park but its a great place to get off of your feet for a few moments.

Visit the childrens outdoor park which mimics a forest hillock in the midst of the city with an adjacent library outpost, cafe and interactive water features to see why this is a sparkling gem. Evening family-friendly concerts and events make this a great spot to spend a summer evening.

Review №42

I found this by accident. THE AMOR sign- mimicks the LOVE sign is right on the corner, like the entry to this area. Its really just a small piece where the fountains shoot water from the ground like at Dilworth Park. Couple benches in the shade and sun, just calm and cooling. Any place thats clean and safe fun for the kids gets 5 stars from me.

We stumbled on to this quaint spot while walking through Philadelphia. We loved it. Children were playing in the water. There were big trees to sit beneath. There eas a small cafe to get a snack. We took a break and really enjoyed ourselves. It was a nice respite on a hot day.

Beautifully designed park designed for little people. My kids love it there!

Review №73

Wonderful safe place for kids to play. The wading pool and spray ground are fun, but the best part is the simulated natural area complete with shaded, winding stream so you can race leaves, wade and have fun without the poison ivy, trash and other hazards plaguing our area creeks. I do advise good soled water shoes for climbing rocks and for bumpy stone bottom of brook and pool. Cafe is expensive, bring food.

Review №81

Its a wonderful small really clean park for the Children (up to about the age of about seven) with a Get Wet Fountain, Childrens Swimming Pool (life guard on duty) and a Childrens come Climb and Explore Park (which is fenced in) also a city info center (never open or if they are they only know the parkway. I asked them 2 questions about the city and they did not know the answer) and Loaded with Center City Workers (3) who you should directed any questions too, one of them will know the answer. But theres two to many and their a Waste of tax Payer Dollars! But whats important is your toddler will LOVE IT! Every month they have different events happening for the kids and in the summer for the Adults a Thursday night free concert series. Theres a small Cafe very clean and good staff with a small bathroom thats now free to the public. This is an updated review. My last review I really hated this place but they have improved everything here. For a toddler park Im gonna give it 5 stars. WTG Sisters City Park. Keep up with the improvements. Another thing the Franklin Institute, Drexels Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia Free Library, Swann Fountain and The Barnes Foundation are all in the square.

Great little city park - ideal for small kids but big kids can get in on the fun with the spray park. If that doesnt amuse them, theres the big fountain next block to splash around.
