Both first-time travelers and returning natives discover and rediscover a diverse, neighborhood-based metropolis with a downtown that’s easy to navigate on one’s own or via public transit. Philly regularly receives raves in The New York Times, Bon Appétit, Travel + Leisure, USA Today and Condé Nast Traveler, yet doesn’t stand one bit for pretense. Here are the basics any visitor to Philadelphia should know: Well-Planned City: • Layout – Seventeenth-century city planner William Penn envisioned the grid of streets that comprise Philadelphia’s downtown, Center City. Perpendicular streets run north-south (they’re numbered) and east-west (many named for trees: Walnut, Locust, Spruce). What would be 1st Street is named Front Street. What would be 14th Street is Broad Street. Two rivers, the Schuylkill and the Delaware (dividing Pennsylvania from New Jersey), form the western and eastern boundaries of Center City; Vine Street and South Street form north-south boundaries. Today, Penn continues to give direction to the city. His statue atop City Hall points northeast. • Exceptions to the Layout – The 101-year-old, mile-long Benjamin Franklin Parkway cuts diagonally through Center City’s grid, from near City Hall, past the famous LOVE Park to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

  • Dilworth Park Event Rental Guidelines
    DILWORTH PARK EVENT RENTAL GUIDELINES Dilworth Park Goals and Objectives Dilworth Park re‐establishes William Penn’s original Center Square, immediately adjacent to Philadelphia’s City Hall, a National Historic Landmark. The park is a fully‐accessible, central gathering place for Philadelphians: residents, workers, students, and visitors. It provides a signature entrance to SEPTA’s subways, trains and trolleys, makes major transit lines accessible by elevator, links the Avenue of the Arts, the Pennsylvania Convention Center and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and connects the office district to Market East destinations. The park supports the CCD’s mission to promote Center City as a competitive and accessible place to work and an attractive place to live and visit, with a diverse offering of arts, cultural, retail and leisure activities. A long‐term lease with the City of Philadelphia enabled the Center City District (CCD) to raise more than 90% of the $55 million in construction costs from sources other than local government. Through the lease, the CCD assumes all financial responsibility for cleaning, landscape, and hard‐surface maintenance, previously provided by the City, as well as for supplementary day and nighttime security. Dilworth is built in accordance with sustainable design principals, governed by municipal rules, regulations and insurance requirements, as well as by the terms of the lease agreement between the City and CCD.
