Cliveden Park

Cliveden Park is a public green space located in the East Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The park occupies a full city block, bounded by Germantown Avenue, Cliveden Street, Morton Street, and Johnson Street. It covers approximately 5.5 acres of land, providing a leafy oasis in the urban landscape.

Originally part of the larger Cliveden estate, the park was created in 1912 when Samuel Chew II gifted 60 acres of the estate's grounds to the City of Philadelphia. Today, Cliveden Park serves as a community resource, offering open space for recreation and relaxation in a historically significant area.

The park is adjacent to Cliveden, the historic 18th-century mansion that was home to the prominent Chew family and played a role in the Revolutionary War's Battle of Germantown. While the mansion and its immediate grounds are operated as a separate historic site, Cliveden Park provides a complementary green space that enhances the neighborhood's character.

Visitors to Cliveden Park can enjoy its tree-lined paths and open grassy areas. The park's mature trees provide ample shade, making it a popular spot for picnics and casual gatherings. Its location in a residential area means it primarily serves the local community, offering a nearby outdoor space for residents to enjoy.
