Shoo Fry Rittenhouse

From the Spring through the fall it is bustling with activity on the weekends. A farmers market on Saturdays and art and crafts shows throughout the year. Well kept and a nice escape from the city.

Rittenhouse Square is a little jewel in the middle of Philadelphia and my very first, and very pleasing , encounter with the center of the city. It's full of cafes and restaurants all around, and inside the square dozens of beautiful and comfortable wooden benches play hosts to the city's residents, mostly young couples and old men, like myself. I ran into the square on my way to a sports bar to watch baseball games. But to my dismay, they were showing only football games. What a waste!!!

Nice peaceful and quiet place to walk around. Also there are many great restaurants around

I love walking here on the weekends. Its a very cute spot, with great restaurants and cafes. Local farmers sell their wares on the weekends too.

As always - nice and beautiful but pretty often packed with people:)

It's a nice park in the Rittenhouse neighborhood. You can people watch, you can say hi to all the puppers on their daily walk, you can sit on the edge of the fountain and talk with your friends, you can admire all the pretty boys and girls from afar. If you bring a blanket you can lay out and read. If you want to be physical you can walk around the park. There are plenty of restaurants and sweet shops in the area so you can eat in the park too. It's a great place.

Very pretty at night. Tons of great places to eat and drink. We like staying close to this area when in the city.

I have loved visiting this park since 1997. I recommend visiting during the holidays and especially in early spring, my favorite! Great for dogs and kids.

Lovely park with a fountain and sculptures and flowers. Well maintained, lots of people, children, and pets. On the warm, humid day we were there, the fireflies started peeking out at about 7:30 pm. Cutest thing was watching the dogs happily visit the center guard shack to beg a milk bone and visit with the attendant, tails wagging and owners smiling. Lots of benches and places to sit and well maintained lawns. Beautiful!

During hot summer days it is a must to stop under shaded areas. This Square has all that and a bit more. Many take a respite and look at the reflecting pool which is quite nice to take pictures. They always interesting festivals happening here.

Best park in the city. The city's rich and poor are all crammed into a beautifully landscaped but relatively small square. Nice place to rest after shopping on Walnut St.

This is a lovely park. You can rest, meet & greet, read, picnic, walk your dog and there's always something going on here. A beautiful place to spend time.

Beautiful park to enjoy nature and the birds and squirrels. Good place to people watch..

Great park in the city. Visited in May with some friends from out of town. It was a great spot to relax after walking around the city all morning.

Great place to read a book and people watch. There's a market of Saturday. It is surrounded by fun shops, a library and wonderful restaurants, especially Parc, my new favorite!
