100% Smoke-Free Rec Centers and Playgrounds

All City-owned recreation centers and playgrounds in Philadelphia are 100% smoke-free by Mayor's executive order and Parks and Recreation regulation.  Click here for more information.

The Dell Music Center, located in scenic East Fairmount Park, is Philadelphia's premier outdoor entertainment and education venue. Formerly the Robin Hood Dell East, this open-air amphitheatre is managed by the City of Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and is the fourth largest performance venue in the city, following the Wells Fargo Center, Temple's Liacouras Center, and the Mann Music Center. The Dell has 5,284 reserved seats and can hold an additional 600 people on the lawn.

 

Become a season ticket-holder and reserve your seat now for the 2012 season so you won't miss any of the spectacular performances! Purchase early and get $50 off premium seating. For more information visit the Dell's season ticket registration form.
