Not from Philadelphia -we live in NJ and had teenagers that were HUNGRY. Nearby at 1308 W Girard is a food hall with all kinds of amazing restaurants for pick-up or delivery only. Each kid wanted something different - my daughter and I ordered Moonbowls, my husband got Rock N Rolls- Eggrolls with a twist (the buffalo chicken!) and my son got TeriyakiChicken. We didn't have to drive all over and they had a nice clean bathroom! Check it out! https://northcenterfood.com/

I had only ordered from Shibe through mail order until my last visit to Philadelphia. Then, as I'm killing time and walking around before a concert, I walked past their physical shop. I had to duck in. Lots of Eagles Super Bowl swag, stickers, shirts and hats. I purchased Phils and Birds stickers and a really cool Phillies knit cap. Prices are way more competitive than I would've expected from a place located in the heart of the city. One interesting thing, while I was perusing the shop a person walked in and asked the employees "Do you sell anything aside from Philly teams?" The answer "Absolutely not". A minor complaint was uttered as he walked back out. I'm so here for that.

Soccer Shots cancelled our child's 8 week class altogether the day it was supposed to start stating…read morethey didn't have enough enrollments for that location. THE SAME DAY!!! Zero notice. Our child had their jersey, cleats and shin guards all ready, excited to meet their coach and play that evening. Soccer Shots cancelled at 8:30 am for our 6:30 pm class that was supposed to run 8 weeks long. Our family has blocked out 8 evenings and said no to numerous other plans because we had signed up for this soccer class. We clearly would have made other plans had we known. To cancel an entire class the same day (non-emergency) is cruel to do to the parents who work hard to assemble their family plans and summer calendars and most importantly cruel to the children who look forward to playing. They sent multiple confirmation emails and even sent emails stating who our coach was with pictures of him and a bio. Now we have to tell our child that their soccer class is not happening and the person is no longer their coach and no we don't get to use our new soccer cleats tonight at practice. This is very unprofessional, disrespectful to people's time. They gave only two choices: a credit for the fall season or choose from one of two other summer classes (it's a farther location and neither class day or time works for us). We do not feel comfortable signing up for the fall season knowing they might just cancel last minute on us again. Definitely looking elsewhere for our soccer needs and won't be making this mistake again.

If people are complaining about how it's not open long enough, it's because they have a very limited budget every year. I think that they do a wonderful job with what they have. For me, it's also one of the cleanest pools in the city. Two thumbs up to the Shawn and the staff for running such a great place for adults and kids to cool off in the summer months. I haven't tried any of their other programming, but it is a real stronghold in the community.

I'll admit: I wasn't expecting the pool to be so clean! There were some leaves on the bottom, but…read morethe water itself was crystal clear. In fact, this being my first time at a public pool, I was pleasantly surprised all-around: Lifeguards were attentive, crowd was friendly, and this pool is just MASSIVE! But there are a few differences between this public pool and a typical swim club that are helpful to know beforehand: This is not a lush environment. Anyone not swimming needs to sit on concrete, bleacher-like steps behind a chain-link fence that separates the pool from the spectator area. The steps are mere feet from the edge of the pool, but I'd imagine the separation might be a little disconcerting for parents of younger kids (or just a buzzkill for anyone hoping to interact with people in the water). Bags, towels, and personal items have to stay on the steps, too, so I advise against bringing any valuables if you plan to swim, as you'll have to leave them unattended (in sight, but behind the chain-link fence). Finally, anyone entering the swim area needs to walk through a sprinkler/shower that rinses people off before they get in the water. So if you're bringing your kids and plan to walk them to the edge of the pool, prepare to get doused on your way in and out! All that said, it's a city pool. No frills, but a great place to play in the water on a hot summer day, at zero cost!

The refs are young(hs age) for the younger soccer games but they seemed knowledgeable. The indoor fields are turf and the large field is split into 2smaller fields for games where the teams play literally wall to wall - def a bit different but a great opportunity for you to continue playing. There are also outdoor fields to be used we just were not signed up for those. Also has adult soccer and lacrosse. There are places to stand to watch the games with a little obstruction but it's not terrible. Very easy to get to but parking is crazy, very small lot and extremely busy.

Nothing is worse than playing catch and stepping in it. Ugh. The corner back near fitzwater and 9th is great for picnics and just general laziness unless a soccer game is going on.
