great portion of walking all about Philadelphia. Fairs, rides, music when warm weather hits, restaurants, water views, look across to NJ, pedestrian bridges over highway, memorials for wars and those who fought, immigrants, and several retired big ships to tour.

Took toddler on a stroll. Tried fried Oreos and danced to live music. We enjoyed it overall. Some areas were not stroller friendly.

After a busy day, this was a nice way to start the evening--just an hour or so to sit, lay in hammocks, play corn hole and connect four, and enjoy a slight breeze. Nice view of the Delaware River. Some of the lights were beginning to turn on, and one could tell that this park would have a special ambiance within a few hours.

Good spot. Lots of places to sit and relax. Lights look pretty at night. Different places to eat. We got funnel cakes and they were very good.

I went to SSHP for the first time and it was so much fun! There are tons of food options for all kinds of people. The hammocks are the best part of it and we laid in one for well over an hour it was so relaxing. They have lights in the trees that turn on at night and it’s really pretty. I can’t wait to go back!

One of the most relaxing ways to enjoy the city and the waterfront, if you can score a hammock. Even without a hammock, worth visiting for the views and brews. Great with family and for singles/people-watching too.

If you’re looking for a nice evening walk where the locals hang out, this is a good place. At night they have lights in the trees and there are hammocks to lounge in if you get lucky enough to find an empty one. At one end there is a place to play arcade games and get a drink and then along the pier there are a few food vendors before you reach the carnival area.
The carnival area is small but cute. They have carnival games, a roller skating area and a Ferris wheel. During the day that side also had swan peddle boats in the water you can rent.
There’s no admission fee for the pier, just the food and activities.

We came around 6:00pm on a Friday and it was very open we were able to find several hammocks open and enjoyed the views off of the water. There are also several food vendors and bars to enjoy while in the hammocks. Sharing the hammocks is encouraged for parties of two and they are quite comfortable!

Located right on the water. Great for a walk, run, or ride. Currently not very active because of COVID. Typically would have many restaurants open.

Family friendly area along the water. I would recommend this to couples, friends, or families looking for a safe place to do something outside.

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

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.

I think it closes in October. It's a seasonal activity.
Is there a parking garage right near it? If so where is it located!

If you go past the Hilton Hotel parking deck, there is a parking lot that costs $20. We didn't attempt to find street parking.
