Drexel Park: Best View in Philly
Posted by Samantha Lazar on July 13, 2009
If you’re a Drexel student or hang out in the area much, you’ve probably noticed a distinct lack of places to chill, escape the traffic, sunbathe, or toss a Frisbee. Well, despair no longer! Drexel Park is a cool new green space that was just created at 32nd Street and Powelton Avenue, just a stone’s throw from the Drexel campus.
The area is nice and quiet, providing a respite from the honking and yelling that seem inescapable just a few blocks to the south. On the edge of the Schuylkill, it affords a great view of Center City. Bring a blanket, a book, or a football and go check it out – just make sure to remember your parasol if you burn easily: the few trees are still too small to provide much shade.
