Logan Circle exists within the original bounds of Logan Square although the 2 names are used interchangeably when referring to this Philadelphia open-space park. From 1800 to 1825 the square served as a pasture, graveyard, and execution grounds which hosted a gallows until the hanging of William Gross on 7th February 1823. A large fountain, erected in July 1924, dominates the centre of the Square / Circle. When I visited in Dec 2021 the fountain was drained of water, I assume for the Winter to prevent icing. It is a pleasant enough park but nothing more than average in my opinion compared to the many parks on offer globally.

Did not get old seeing this oasis coming and going from our hotel. Fountain and sculpture are impressive. Gardens also nice. Sad to see so many homeless in and around this landmark.
