FOUNTAIN & CHILDREN’S DISCOVERY GARDEN

The fountain at Sister Cities Park features 11 spouts, which represent Philadelphia’s Sister Cities around the globe. Sit, splash and enjoy the view before heading over to the Children’s Discovery Garden and Boat Pond. Inspired by Philadelphia’s Wissahickon Valley, the space inspires young visitors to explore nature in an urban setting.
