The Center City District is responsible for the management of four extraordinary parks in the heart of Center City.  Each park is cared for with an unwavering level of pride and commitment.  Discover them all, all year long.  Enjoy cafés, ice skating, movies, or just a quiet moment with a book. Please support these great parks and know that in doing so, you are adding to the quality of life of Center City.

Dilworth Park

Dilworth Park, on the west side of City Hall, is an exceptional civic space, a gateway to transit and a sustainable centerpiece that links Philadelphia’s primary employment, hospitality, cultural and retail districts. Active throughout the year, Dilworth Park has quickly become a favorite meeting place for friends and family to enjoy winter ice skating, summer concerts, and special events all year long.

Sister Cities Park

This award-winning park has quickly become every child’s dream play space and the kind of public amenity every neighborhood craves. On Logan Square with sweeping views of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Sister Cities Park invites you to run through its iconic fountain, grab a sandwich at Sister Cities Café, or romp through the children’s discovery garden.

John F. Collins Park

A tribute to its designer, this remarkable pocket park is a surprise to all who step inside.  Passing through amazingly sculpted gates, the park is lush with native vegetation and a gurgling fountain.  Its peacefulness is a welcome contrast to the bustling streets beyond and the perfect place for special events.  To help maintain this quiet oasis, contact Kristine Kennedy, Director of Development at 215.440.5529 or  kkennedy@centercityphila.org.
