Seger Park is a 1.9-acre public green space located in the heart of Center City Philadelphia, spanning the city block between Lombard and Rodman Streets from 10th to 11th Street. Situated in the Washington Square West neighborhood, the park serves as a popular recreational area for local residents and visitors alike.

The park features a diverse range of facilities catering to various age groups and interests.

A separate playground area with equipment and swings is available for children aged 5-12. Both play areas are set on artificial turf for safety and maintenance purposes.

During warmer months, a spray ground water feature operates daily, providing relief from the summer heat. The park also includes sports facilities, with one full basketball court and two half-courts, all equipped with overhead lighting for evening use.

The park's amenities are complemented by numerous benches and shady trees throughout, creating pleasant spots for relaxation. A recreation center on-site houses restrooms and a water fountain, enhancing visitor comfort.

Seger Park's central location and diverse facilities make it a vibrant community hub, attracting people from various Philadelphia neighborhoods and fostering a sense of community in the urban environment.
