Beautifully maintained park in memoriam of the Irish potato famine, and the wave of immigration it caused, shaping the city of Philadelphia. The bronze statue is stunning and a sight to be seen by those with Irish heritage and every person with an immigration story in their family tree. Both the Irish and American flags are maintained quarterly by charitable organizations and private contributors. A must see ceremony takes place each saint Patrick's day.
Great park, statuary and information.
The Monuments that are out in this area are amazing highly detailed beautiful and Wiley clean area and highly maintained informative on the Irish culture as well as Scottish culture so if you're looking for a little bit of History this is a great stopping point
Cool little dog run area and nice spots to take a walking break with some motivating Irish and Scottish immigration monuments. Relaxing, and hopefully the turf will improve a little with the spring.
