About this venue

Welcome to Sister Cities Park! At the midpoint on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, between City Hall and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Sister Cities Park adds a picturesque swath of green to the heart of Philadelphia’s notable arts and cultural district. From here, panoramic views bring skyscrapers, historic cathedrals, and museums into harmony, while the Sister Cities fountain, a unique representation of the world with Philadelphia at its center, is close enough for adults to touch and children to run through. Sister Cities Park is available for proposals, wedding ceremonies, showers, brunches, cocktail hours, and seated receptions. A portion of the lawn, the fountain, or the entire park can be rented for your big event.
