Love Park

About Love Park

Love Park, formally known as John F. Kennedy Plaza, is situated in the heart of Center City Philadelphia, directly across from City Hall. It is a well-known urban oasis that has served as a popular gathering spot for both residents and visitors since its dedication in 1965. The park's most distinguishing feature is Robert Indiana's famous 'LOVE' sculpture, which has become a beloved symbol of Philadelphia and a highly sought-after photo opportunity for tourists. Beyond the sculpture, the plaza features a central fountain, seasonal plantings, and open spaces that invite relaxation and provide a picturesque backdrop for downtown Philadelphia's skyline. Following a significant renovation completed in 2018, Love Park was revitalized with improved accessibility, new landscaping, and enhanced public amenities, while maintaining its classic design elements. It remains a vibrant civic space where people can enjoy a break from the urban bustle, socialize, and experience one of the city's most recognizable landmarks.
