This 9.1-acre municipal park in West Philadelphia is a community treasure. Visitors to Clark Park come to shop for flowers, fruit, and vegetables at the year-round farmers’ market, watch productions of the Shakespeare in Clark Park theater company, or snap a shot of the sculpture of Charles Dickens. Walkers and joggers use the park’s path for outdoor exercise and many bring their dogs to this pet-friendly park. Other opportunities for exercise include a basketball court for older kids and adults and a playground for the younger set. One unique feature of the park is its pétanque court, a French game that is similar to lawn bowling.
