Good for friends and drinks

Great place to meet friends, have a few beers, and eat some street food. There are hammocks and games like corn hole and giant connect four. We went on a weekday so it was not very crowded.

Pretty park on the water w/good food, activities for kids - plan ahead. It's crowded.

This is nice unique outdoor space. It's a small park so it quickly gets crowded but if you can snag a spot on a hammock or grassy area, it can be great for kids and families. Food is cheap and on the day we were...More

Fun for Kids

I have been to SSHP a few times, and I’m often underwhelmed. It seems, though, that I end up going at the most crowded times. There is a lot to offer, but if you are waiting for a hammock, a water-side lounge area, or a...More

Fun Place to Grab a Meal

Went straight here for our first meal in Philly. It was super lively and a ton of food options! It seemed to be a mixture of both locals and tourists alike.

Fun hangout, people watching spot

Lots of shade a cold beer on a hot day. Plenty of places to sit though no hammocks were vacated while we were there. FInally Philly is correcting their Waterfront development missteps of years past. Bravo!

Amy B

Is this all outdoors or are their indoor restaurants and bars as well?

June 29, 2019|

Answer

The harbor park is all outdoors. You can walk along the river to the first pier, then to Columbus Blvd to get to the Cherry Street pier which is indoors with food, drinks, ice cream and local art studios.
