POPS Skatepark in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“***UPDATE W/CONSTRUCTION*** This playground has looked the same from when I was a kid playing here. Except the swings & slides have disappeared and here we have a redone skate park on one side and a beautifully green grass (Astro turf) filled doggie park and dead smack in the middle is a baby park with nothing up-to-date for a baby and an older kids park again with nothing for a kid. The basketball court has been hol”

“Always full of trash, so much graffiti, all the ramps are falling apart, kids keep ripping down the fences & ppl let their dogs go to the bathroom in there & don't clean it up...smdh”

“Fun but kind of cramped. Some parts are hard to get speed and angles to be used as intended. Still worth going to you might like it more than I do.”

“My oldest son loves to skate, bike, and scoot and POPS is one of our favorite haunts. Just challenging enough for all expertise.”

“Pops is a great practice park. Nothing over 4 foot but you can work on the basics and technical stuff. The layout is nice enough to give you multiple run options. Never really crowded so the smaller size doesnu2019t become an issue.”

“For the skatepark, the ground is really rough and the only truly smooth areas are the concrete add ons. But having so many ramps, it makes cruising through the park fun! Itu2019s a pretty compact park but still has a pretty good flow to it!”

“I donu2019t like that there is no shaded areas to hide from the flames of the sun. In my opinion it is too small and it gets crowded easily. I feel like itu2019s more adequate for the older skaters and bikers with more experience. My boys are just taking skating serious and this park is not the right fit for them to learn.”

“This park is closer to the fishtown/ northern liberties section of the city. It features some obstacles you won't find in any other park in the city like flat gaps and a wave box. I really like that the gate is always open but be mindful that it is on a residential street so 2am sessions might annoy the locals or scare some dogs that live near by”
