Great park! We…read morediscovered this park for a friend's birthday party. It was an unseasonably warm day in November, shining sun and blue skies! We had picnic tables by a cute Art Nouveau style stage type thing (shut down for the season, but probably the source of a lot of fun in summer). Everyone here was friendly and kids played safely. Parents were attentive and open to talk and help kids share in activities together on the playground apparatuses or zip line, etc. Even the local teens at the gaga pit were so sweet to let young elementary school kids join in for their games. We stayed a lot longer than anticipated and it was a really fun time!

I can't speak for other times of the day but early morning when I was visiting on September 19, 2019 it was clean. I enjoyed looking at the sculptures. The area was not overly congested with people.

While the old fountain still exists at the core, rather than fence it in they opened up the space and added welcoming tables and benches, and a take a book leave a book station. The end result is the perfect seasonal parklet that's perfectly fitting in the time of East Passyunk's restaurant renaissance, and you'll almost always see a few South Philly characters taking it all in.

It serves as a place for one to achieve a phlegmatic disposition, eat pastries from Librae Bakery adjacent to this public triangle, people watch, and to ponder one's racing thoughts as there are a lot of benches.

It sits on what's called a traffic Island and it's named after Italian composer, Giuseppe Verdi. Of course, growing up in the 1970's we called it Needle Park, after the druggy movie "Panic in Needle Park". My cousin Fran still calls it that. Later in life the homeless guys would sleep on the 73rd street side by the subway grate because the warm air would jet up and keep them toasty. Then in the daytime, all the seniors hung out in the park. This week, it was pretty sweet how we grabbed our dogs, drinks and relaxed in the park for a half hour. All while we were waiting for our train to take us to 91st street and Riverside park, to see the Garden people. More to come! 01/24

It's fun to get out on the ice and if you're me, fall down. Lol. I tend to spend a lot of time in mid-town when I am in NYC and end up here with friends at least once during visits.
