Drexel Park, a serene green haven in Philadelphia, is a testament to urban revitalization and community engagement. Once the site of the Consolidated Laundry industrial facility, it has been transformed into a vibrant public space since its opening in 2008. The park is a cherished spot for both Drexel University students and residents of the Powelton community. With over 45 trees, well-maintained walking paths, ambient lighting, and comfortable benches, the park offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city life. Operated by Drexel University, Drexel Park not only serves as a recreational area but also as a symbol of the university’s commitment to fostering a harmonious relationship with its neighbors.
The park is on the smaller side, but it (1) has a beautiful view of the Philadelphia skyline and (2) is a nice place for a short walk and/or to relax and enjoy some fresh air
Great park! Nice grassy area to walk your dog(s). Usually a good amount of people here chilling on the grass. On nicer days of course it's more crowded. A lot, and I mean a lot of college student presence (I mean, hello... “Drexel” Park). I have seen police, Drexel security, and Drexel Police patroling this park. Free parking, if you can find it. Great place to watch fireworks from with the major crowd! Stellar views of the city!
Scenic place, I wish there were some parking for visitors only. Needed some maintenance and instructions for tourist to enjoy authentic beauty of Philadelphia. I think this city will rise again, it’s just matter of time, and these places need more attention.
Drexel park is a wonderful park located in university city, Philadelphia close to Drexel University making it a great spot for students. It features walking paths, a paved center with seating, and lush green grass. I would strongly recommend to visit this park whenever you have a chance.
Visiting from out of state, grabbed hoagies to Okie picnic with and my son played the guitar. Beautiful weather, people night Hula-Hooping, beautiful views from every angle. Even enjoyed getting sprinkled on,
A great place for Drexel students and other members of the local community alike to spend time at a well kept park and one that is safely patrolled by Drexel police and security. As it is not fenced in, walking a dog there one must be cautious and keep a pair of eyeballs on their little furry buddy. Fortunately for me, my beloved Carmen is mostly into chasing balls and other dogs than worried about straying too far for comfort. Overall recommend this park for dog walks/ meeting other dogs, city view, as well as students and local community gathering briefly.
