Description At the midpoint on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway between City Hall and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Sister Cities Park adds a picturesque swath of green to the heart of Philadelphia’s notable arts and cultural district. From here, panoramic views bring skyscrapers, historic cathedrals and museums into harmony, while the Sister Cities fountain, a unique representation of the world with Philadelphia at its center, is close enough for adults to touch and children to run through. The fountain’s 10 geyser-like spouts mark our 10 sister cities, each positioned according to its global relationship to Philadelphia.

Amazing water play park for little kids. The ankle high pool of water has a lifeguard nearby who skims the water keeping it clean. Kids dart from one zone to another in the tree covered oasis. Kids climb on rocks, jump over fountains, and send boats racing down the streams. ⭐️🍪 Bring the bathing suits, change of clothes, and water shoes that help with slipping. Expect to make new friends. ❤️ 👍🏽 FOLLOW THE STAR BISCUITS for more family friendly tips, adventures, and ideas!

Great park for the kids. My toddler had a blast playing with the various water features. There is even space to have a picnic. Could use a better bathroom and an addition of a changing room would be nice.

Sister Cities Park is a delightful oasis nestled in the heart of Philadelphia. Picture this: a serene park adorned with a dancing fountain, sculptures, and vibrant flowers. As you wander through, you’ll catch glimpses of history—old historic buildings on one side and modern skyscrapers on the other. It’s a harmonious blend of past and present, inviting you to pause, reflect, and soak in the beauty. Whether you’re strolling solo or embarking on a self-guided adventure, this park offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city.

Lovely place to bring kids of a variety of ages, and is a great way to beat the heat. Has restrooms and a small cafe, plus steps from the central free library. Small place that feels way bigger on the inside!

A wonderful place to bring children. There's a Cafe, a bathroom with a changing station, a sprinkler and gated area with a small pool surrounded by trees, additional sprinklers and a large hammock. Parking isn't too much of a hassle as spots are often opening up on the parkway, however if you can avoid driving down and either walking or using Septa it may save having to drive around until something opens up.. I would suggest this place 1000 times over for parents looking for a nice comfortable place to cool off
