Philadelphia Museum of Art - Eakins Oval
Eakins Oval
26th Street and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway
Philadelphia, PA 19130
Over the summer between July 17 and August 20th, Philadelphia transformed Eakins Oval into a community space. What was normally a parking lot functioned as pedestrian-friendly turf with a stage, benches, food trucks, lawn seating, sand and lawn. On Thursdays, there was a pop up beer garden to go along with the food trucks. I was mostly interested in the pop up beer garden and finally made it out there on a Thursday after work.
It was very relaxing to sit out on the parkway with beers and take in the area after a long work day. I think Philadelphia Parks and Recreation has succeeded in brightening up the area over the summer while getting a better use out of the space.
