More things to do

PHS Pop-Up Garden(s)1438 South Street & 60. N. 36th Street

More than just places to kick back and relax in these lush urban oases fashioned out of empty lots, the gardens dole out beer and food from some of the city’s most popular breweries and restaurants.

Spruce Street Harbor ParkOld City Arts District: Start at 2nd & Market Streets and walk north!

Designed by Groundswell. The park’s features include a beachfront with a boardwalk along the Delaware River and about 100 hammocks hang under thousands of LED lights hung in the trees during the night. There are multiple restaurants and pubs or bars.

Franklin Square200 North 6th Street

Franklin Square is one of the five original open-space parks planned by William Penn when he laid out the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1682.

These gathering spaces originated the trend of pop-up gardens. Especially for flower and garden lovers.

Recognized by Huffington Post as one of the world’s best urban beaches! But lots of dry land, oversize games and tall ships.

After a round of miniature golf enjoy a milkshake from Square Burger.
