The Oval+ is a seasonal summer pop-up featuring a beer garden , art installations, food trucks , and community programming! A lot of their activities are weather permitting, so check before you go.

‘The Washington Monument ’ was unveiled in 1897 at the Green Street entrance to Fairmount Park . Then, upon the completion of the Parkway in 1928, the monument was moved to where you see it now.
