Fall in LOVE again this summer! On May 30, the City of Philadelphia and nonprofit partner Fairmount Park Conservancy celebrated the re-opening of Center City’s LOVE Park (JFK Plaza) with a ribbon cutting, music, performances, and giveaways.

Reasons to visit the redesigned park include:

• A new fountain with spray jets for cooling off during hot summer weather
• The return of the Lunch in LOVE program, featuring a mix of food trucks (Wednesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.)
• Lots of seating
• Wheelchair-accessible layout
• More greenery– lawn areas, gardens, and trees
• Ping pong tables

PLUS, planned programming for the future includes:

• Line dancing
• Wedding ceremonies
• Board games
• Relaxation/meditation classes
• Live performances

In 2019, the Welcome Center building will reopen with a new restaurant and public bathrooms.
