Did you know that this vibrant park is actually a floating oasis built on top of repurposed commercial barges?

Spruce Street Harbor Park brings a creative twist to Philadelphia’s historic waterfront. You can swing on a hammock right over the river while looking out at magnificent historic ships. The weekends bring extra energy with live music bands, and incredible food vendors. It is the ultimate summer hangout to enjoy good music, great food, and stunning river views.

Came here for the Red Bull championship run. It was very nice to hang around this park. Something for everyone in the family at the waterfront.

There’s tree canopies to lounge in, a large chess game, big connect 4 games, a beer garden, many food vendors like Chickie and Pete’s crab fries or tacos, ice cream, etc. then there’s pedal boats, or large lounge chairs for photo ops, fence for hanging locks, and other cool things.

Anyway the Red Bull challenge was super fun to watch people try to run up a greased up light pole. They gave away free Red Bulls too lol

Everyone was just saying that they wish there were more shade tents set up by Red Bull and the 76ers and the Eagles because that sun was doing too much.

I have complicated feelings on this place. It's a really cool spot with lots of dynamic areas to walk around and sit, but the security there makes going there a very uncomfortable experience. Felt like there was a security person staring down my neck the entire time I was there. Saw some children get scolded by security for rocking each other on the hammocks. Also a big gripe: they sell overpriced alcohol for people attending the live music but then refuse to give you water without charging you. I really actually crazy there was no free water anywhere within the park. The nearest water fountain was past the park grounds, so theoretically if you bought beer and wanted to stay hydrated, you are not allowed to leave the area to get water until you have finished your drink. Other than that major ick, it was a really cool spot and the shows they have here are awesome. They just really need a water fountain or keg or something, because the way it is now is ridiculous and in my mind unethical.

It was raining when we went but still memorable and a cool spot to check out. However parking is difficult in this area we had to use a nearby hotel parking garage

I visited the Olympia neat ship the food was a little sad in the park. I looked at every truck that was open and went with two hotdogs because that was about it. I didn't feel the Chicken kabobs or shrimp fries.
