Hidden River Park

South of the Locust Street entrance to the river trail from Center City is a "Hidden Park". I call it hidden because from the Walnut Street Bridge, trees shield it from the highway traffic.


This park has basket ball and tennis courts, a children's playground, a dog park, 1 large open field for soccer, and a large well kept community garden. The area surrounding the park is made of very wealthy individuals. The cars that line the streets are what I call "designer".

Either way, it is a very nice park and a well designed open space with something for everyone.
It's so close to Grey's Ferry that I assume residents from there will come up. I would need to investigate further to know for sure.
