Roberto Clemente Park & Playground

Very diverse, clean and the staff is amazing. My first time here Me and another mom were too early for the sprinklers by an hour. The staff saw us, and said oh give it a minute and after realizing it started an hour later Ina Saturday they turned it on for us anyway (early !!!). Thank goodness bc my 3 yr old wouldn’t have lasted an hour !
The I love how clean and pleasant this park is. Add in sprayground and proximity to a huge garden and I’m in.
Let’s not forget that there is not only a play ground and a sprayground but also a basketball court and a giant field where assorted activities activities are practiced.

I’ve been coming to Roberto Clemente Playground even before I moved to the Art Museum Fairmount Area. Now that I live here the location is my 1^st choice for the various adult sports league I participate in.
The park section has had a major makeover for the better with an awesome playground area and sprinkler section. The field thought could use some work. The grass is non existent in some spot creating a major dust bowl for football. And although they did put some new sand on the baseball diamond it seemed to have washed into the sidewalk area.
There facebook page:
is super informative about when the sprinklers will be running, if they are closing early or fun events the park is having. But I wish there was an update on when the bathroom would be open and they always seem to be out of toilet paper when even I am able to make it in.
Over all this is defiantly one of the better local neighborhood party in Philadelphia. Its a great location for sports leagues I will continue to pick this spot to play in.
