Welcome to Green Street Dog Park where dogs can run free and unleashed in Spring Garden, PA.
Volunteer-led community garden and playground
The community’s name is derived from the massive community garden and public park space at its center. The Spring Gardens has been volunteer-led and maintained since 1995, providing over 180 plots for gardening and organizing regular events such as membership meetings and community dinners. The Philadelphia Horticultural Society has supported the gardens through its urban greening initiative, hoping to plant more greenery in Philadelphia communities suffering from the urban heat island effect. Just south of the gardens is the Roberto Clemente Playground, named after the first Latin-American baseball player to be honored in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Children can clamber around the playground while locals play pickup basketball or relax on the field, which offers views of the Center City skyline. Dog owners can play catch or take their pets on runs at the neighboring Green Street Dog Park. Thousands of paintings and other artworks are displayed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, less than a mile west along Fairmount Avenue.
Residents ride through Spring Garden by taking the train provided by SEPTA transportation.
Quick light-rail or bus ride to Center City
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority has light rail and bus stops throughout the neighborhood and a subway line along Broad Street.
