Description Nestled behind row houses on an old cobbled street, Orkney Park is a hidden four-lot wooded parcel and a garden pocket park in the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia. Undisturbed for years, it has evolved into a tranquil ecosystem rich with diverse wildlife. A majestic giant cottonwood tree shares the land with countless birds and squirrels, as well as the occasional raccoon, possum, groundhog or fox. A home for feathered and furry friends, this nature preserve also provides a haven for humans seeking to escape the built environment.

Not as packed as other playgrounds and is maintained by neighbors. Has a neighborhood feeling and our kid loves the nature area. Needs some upgrades, but that also requires $$ and the City doesn't prioritize these playgrounds. Donations help.

privately owned and have several old-growth trees on them. The owner has a strong interest in preserving this natural setting. Hidden gem

Orkney Park is an example of why northern liberties is such a great neighborhood. Locally managed and taken care of and people in the area really use it. Need to make sure it's preserved.

Great little park with the slowest squirrels in Philadelphia. My dog almost catches one every time we walk through.
