The fountain wasn't running in the winter, but the statue of Ben Franklin made out of keys was really cool! Glad we stopped. Take a quick peek/wander down 321 Arch Street nearby, as the little courtyard is picturesque!
A haven from the noise of the city! Nature at it’s best: Birds. Bees. Trees. Flowers. Water. Artistic one of a kind murals. Delightful!
Stopped here for lunch and got to sit right in front of the fountains there's nothing like listening to some water gargling while having a nice lunch! Such a peaceful little area never seems to be loud or hectic always very tranquil. There is a little bit of traffic coming in to see the mural but that's about it.
This is an interesting, beautiful, and quite a small fountain park, commemorating Philadelphia firefighters fallen in the line of duty since 1736. The bust of Benjamin Franklin was created uniquely with keys and pennies, and also contains brass nameplates representing fallen firefighters and weighs 1 ton! The mural on the wall is very colorful.
What a lovely little Park just next to the fire station. So beautiful, clean. Loved the fire department mural.
We discovered this mural-filled little park on our way to nearby Christ Church burial grounds. It's a tribute to Philadelphia firefighters and the detail quality of the murals is impressive. If look close you can see inlaid mosaics of some fire engines around the mural. There are benches, a fountain for a quiet oasis in Old City.
[Very Tiny/Intimate Park] Very great spot. It's a surprising escape. The nature and wildlife that frequent this place adds a nice touch. Wow. Never usually too crowded either which is amazing considering that this is a crowded city.
