The dogs bark just like the wives of the little old men. The children scream just like their fathers over the iggles and phillies. I was most impressed by the gorgeous tulips in the middle surrounding what was once a fountain perhaps this spring. I used to babysit near here and my charge liked to come here and use the shared toys that are at the back of the park, they are corralled inside a little fence, but they are for all the children to use. You don't know how many nights I had to drag a crying hysterical child out of a cozy coupe. I get it kid I never had a cozy coupe either! I walk by here maybe 4 or 5 times a week, it's always a pleasant part of the scenery.

A great indoor carousel. A decent kids arcade. A wonderful water table and play are for smaller kids. And a pretty good snack bar. Great parking and sitting in Peddler's Village, so adults can enjoy the trip, too.

Because of Alcohol there comes a time where you might find yourself having to help a friend walk down two incredibly vast hills and the longest flight of suicide stairs that you ever witnessed, as he flails his $300 sunglasses and weaves tales that you can't even begin to grasp all the way. There also comes a time where because of it you magically see a regular bush materialize into a perfectly tan set of buns. and as you start to sober up a little bit you realize that you were caught in the act of staring at someone when they were in an awkward squatting position for over a minute. And when that happens you have to go back and tell your friends about no matter what nickname it earns you (I've earned nicknames for reasons far worse that I'll plead the fifth on.). And yet while all of the above are situations that can go horribly wrong, they manage to go horribly right. I'm nowhere near the lengthy wordsmith that Aaron is. But luckily since he summed up the whole adventure smashingly I don't need to be. He's dead on about it being a fine blend of Rittenhouse Square and Logan Circle (with a little bit of *ahem* Clark Park added in). And it's named for a statue that makes me wish that I had a giant cup of dipping mustard handy. And all of that, and the many adventures that it weaves is enough to make Pretzel Park pretty impressive.

Here's number two! :) THE PARK: Taking up a quarter corner of a city block is this relaxing space with a functioning water fountain and pool as its centerpiece. Piped-in house music played from speakers hidden in the green gardens. The area is not only shaded by mature trees but by the surrounding skyscrapers of the city. Any noise from the streets get drowned out by the fountain and background music. In addition to traditional benches, the park also sports restaurant-style tables with and without umbrellas, perfect if you're here eating or drinking. Upon leaving, a worker sanitized the tabletop. Where'd he come from?! LOL. OVERALL: Not crowded at all on this particular 3:00 Tuesday afternoon. Love it here!

It also has a bocce court in the back of the park. The park may look like it's always been there, but it was built when a building on the site was demolished in 1978. But even to a visitor to Philadelphia and the neighborhood, it seems like a great addition to the neighborhood. A green space for sharing space with neighbors.
