Take a picture with the LOVE sculpture . If it's too crowded , go to the back of the sculpture and take a selfie - it'll be just as good ????

The Ritz-Carlton

JFK Plaza is commonly known as "Love Park " because of Robert Indiana 's "Love" sculpture . The water in the Love Fountain is dyed various colors throughout the year to celebrate certain events

Daniel Tewfik

Once films of skaters at LOVE Park found their way to California, pro skaters moved to Philly just to skate in LOVE everyday. http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/episode-71-in-and-out-of-love/

Carly Lipkin

A simple tourist attraction in the heart of philadelphia. Always people taking pictures in front of the LOVE sign. Much smaller than I thought it would be but still nice to see when in town .

Andrew Furman

In 2002, this park was guarded by a uniformed officer 24/7 in order to prevent skateboarding . Despite these efforts, Love Park is still a skateboarding Mecca

Rob McGowan

Long lines at times. Robert Indiana 's Love sculpture (one of two in the city , the second is on U. Penn's campus) has just been restored and is back where it belongs!

Show your love for your Valentine with the ultimate iconic park in Philadelphia. Be sure to take a picture in front of the statue to treasure the memory.

Tim Foley

May want to wait till the work is done. This is currently being rennovated. From what I hear the iconic LOVE sculpture is in Dilworth Plaza by City Hall

Mary Presley

Iconic part of town . On any given day, you will share the path with many tourists . Look for the food trucks to grab something to eat while walking.

Seti SVLetty

The original love statue has been taken away in February 2017 for restaurations . It will be taken in place again in 2018. Sorry guys!

Chris Nunes

It's only s good view of all the countrie 's flags and a place to take picture making a heart with your hand. That's it!

Visit Philly

Named for Robert Indiana 's iconic Love statue , this is where a super-patriotic Charlie from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia got heated at an anti-smoking rally.

Alana Walters

Not much about this "park " is good. I've lived in Philadelphia for years now and I never had the urge to go sit in Love Park . It smells like piss all the time.

ISEPTAPHILLY

This iconic part of Philly is easily accessible from the 27 or 44 bus , and the 10 Trolley.

Reinhold Residential

From hand-crafted pizza to slow-cooked BBQ and more, Love Park 's a hot weekday lunchtime spot for exceptional food truck offerings.

RC

I nice spot in center city to chill . Except for the few fights, skateboarders , and violent/crazy homeless episodes.

Concierge

Be sure to buy your PHLASH tickets from their Visitor Desk. You'll save $2.00 for an all-day individual pass and $1.00 for an all-day family pass!

Abril Santos

Careful! The park is under construction and the statue in renovation, you'll find nothing but sadness if you go now.

Benjamin Choi

great spot to cool off near the fountain and get in a nice photo op as well .

Elany Jaimes

Hey People

A must see in Philly! Yesterday, all the kids went swim in the fountain . The LOVE Sign is okay..

Bryan Overholt

The sculpture is much smaller than I though it would be. There was also a homeless guy guarding it.

Daniel Tewfik

Check out the skateboarders and take a touristy picture.

Stephanie Donnelly

love to stop here occasionally and enjoy the sounds of the city

Clementine Mottola

Make pb&j sandwiches (your own time/money) & give them to the homeless. Its a very humbling/enlightening experience.

Maggie MacG

Such a fun tourist spot. Definitely worth checking out.

Brittnie Knight

Random people stand by the Love statue and try to take your photos for you for a tip. They're obnoxious and pushy.

Jill Kimbrough

Go around 8:30pm and all the lights downtown come on. It's beautiful!

Karylle Vanessa Jose

When you pass by Philly, make sure to take a photo at the Love Sign on this park .

Clifton Salas

Great Park in the heart of the city .

Lore Benavent

Touristic location, good views to the phila museum and city hall

The love sign is cute but not the best of elements here at night. Rittenhouse Square a bit nicer to sit in.

In the winter the place is converted to a holiday vendor area.
