On warm summer evenings, you’ll often find residents of the Chestnut Hill neighborhood enjoying snacks and drinks on the lawn at Pastorius Park as they listen to concerts that are part of the park’s annual music series. A traveling beer garden known as Parks on Tap added the park to its roster last year and brought its festive energy to the neighborhood. On weekdays, visitors can enjoy the peacefulness of this small park with a walk around the pond where they can see turtles basking in the sun and frogs leaping into the water. Dogs can join their owners in the park if they are kept on a leash.
