Marconi Plaza

I've been going here since I was little. We take our dog here a lot. The park is so nice and is always clean. The playground makes it so fun for kids.

Great playground for the kids w shade & plenty of benches for parents! Also tons of trashcans! Pretty clean most of the time & busy enough to deter drug use/drinking during the day. Haven't been there at night but saw that the whole park perimeter is now brightly lit.

Marconi Plaza is a historic urban park located in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Named after the Nobel Prize-winning inventor Guglielmo Marconi, the plaza serves as a cultural landmark, reflecting the area’s rich Italian-American heritage. Divided by Broad Street into east and west sections, the 19-acre park features Roman-styled architecture, including winding pathways, terraces, and reflecting pools. It has been a part of the city’s fabric since its creation in 1914 and was the grand pre-entrance for the 1926 Sesquicentennial Exposition. Today, Marconi Plaza is a cherished green space that hosts the annual Columbus Day Parade and provides residents with a serene setting for recreation and relaxation.

Ted grew up as a puppy here he was so happy top visit Ho's park

There is always parking around the way. Kids always have fun on both sides of the street because of the 2 playgrounds across the street from each other. Also as a pokemon go player has lots of stops and a gym, makes great for COMMUNITY day while the kids run around.

Marconi plaza is a bit different than the typical squares in Philadelphia. It's very large, and open but lacks the intimacy of other squares such as Rittenhouse and Washington Square West. It is great place to do outdoor activities in South Philly.

Been going here since I was a kid. Play ball, hit the playground, drink 40 ounce beers as a teenager. LOL nice little park.

A big play ground perfect for all age groups..small kids just love it..lovely place for picnic with family..

Have been playing in this park since I was a kid , now I take my kids there all the time. Marconi Park is clean, has two baseball fields, two playgrounds and is family friendly. There's no bs there. Nothing but love at and for Marconi Park. It's a South Philly staple. Playground: Two playgrounds, one for babies and smaller children and another for older kids. Baseball fields. Benches and plenty of space for picnics or whatever you wanna do. Also it's close to PT , Pops Water Ice and tons of other restaurants and stores right across the street. Dog-friendliness: Great place to take the pups! All the folks that bring their dogs there are good people and most have friendly dogs. Just make sure you have your pup on a leash because Broad St is right there and you don't want your pup running in the streets. Also, always ask to pet someone's dog because you never know if that person wants you to pet their dog and also as a precaution for yourself because you never know if that dog is friendly. Picnic area: Awesome atmosphere, great neighborhood. All love

Pretty good park. Saw a dog almost catch a squirrel. It should be noted, that this is different than macaroni park.
