Review:
South Philadelphia’s Marconi Plaza is part of the Fairmount Park complex. The park was built in the style of Roman gardens with tree-lined sidewalks that border the plaza and raised terraces graced with statues of prominent Italian-Americans Guglielmo Marconi and Christopher Columbus. Facilities in this residential park include playgrounds for young children and places for older kids and adults to play bocce, baseball, and basketball. The Friends of Marconi Plaza, a volunteer-run organization, hosts concerts, sports clinics, movie nights, and holiday celebrations for residents and visitors. Dogs are welcome in Marconi Plaza provided they are kept on a leash.
