The Spruce Street Harbor Park is an urban park located in Penn's Landing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Open during the summer, the place features a boardwalk along the Delaware River with a beachfront atmosphere. Fireworks were planned around the Independence Day holiday, though the main fireworks were scheduled for the Ben Franklin Parkway on July 4 itself. The park's features include a beachfront with a boardwalk along the Delaware River and about 100 hammocks hang under thousands of LED lights hung in the trees during the night. There are multiple restaurants and pubs or bars. The park has hammock lounges and two barges available for reservation. On Saturdays, it is host to the Art Star Pop Up Market, where local artist sell candles, soaps, ceramics, art, home goods, jewelry and more.

Where do you park cars at

jacqueline parker | Oct 4, 2018
Michael Dundas | Oct 4, 2018

There are numerous parking options available, some more expensive than others. Weekends are usually the times when it's more expensive. This is true for the most part throughout the city's attraction areas. It's cheaper to park legally than to park illegally.
