CRESCENT PARK

Crescent Park, a 2.5-acre park located just beyond the Navy Yard's front gates, was the first in a series of new parks completed at the Navy Yard. Facing new, glass-walled office buildings, it offers a quiet place for strolling or lunch, and a putting green for those looking to improve their handicap. GET DIRECTIONS

DRY DOCK PARK

At 500 feet long, 90 feet wide, and 25.5 feet deep, Dry Dock 1 at the Navy Yard was not large enough to accommodate modern naval vessels. Made of timber piling, it became obsolete as a work space and was converted into Dry Dock Park, designed by D.I.R.T. Studio. Dry Dock Park sits at the heart of the Urban Outfitters' campus and is a great location for lunch and dog watching. GET DIRECTIONS

LEAGUE ISLAND PARK

League Island Park was designed by Wells Appel and KS Engineers. League Island Park’s name references the original island on the Delaware River that was connected to South Philadelphia to create today’s 1,200-acre Navy Yard. The 2.5-acre park includes an innovative stormwater management feature, made possible through a partnership with the Philadelphia Water Department. GET DIRECTIONS

MARINE PARADE GROUNDS

Today, the Marine Parade Grounds are host to weekend charity festivals and 5k races, weeknight recreational sports leagues, the weekly Lunch Truck Lineup food truck event, and much more!GET DIRECTIONS
