Three Bears Park

A delightful little park in Philadelphia’s Society Hill neighborhood. Perfect for little ones and caregivers to enjoy the outdoors in a tidy little spot hidden amongst the lovely federal homes of Philadelphia. Plenty of seating and trees for shade. The cobbled ground is uneven in areas so be careful with children on scooters.

Charming Society Hill neighborhood park officially called Delancey Street Park. It is one of our dog's favorite walk destinations thanks to the softscape playground and well-maintained plantings. The climbable bears, swings and playground are especially inviting to young children. The park association hosts an annual fall festival and park after dark celebrations. Local families also will rent out the space for birthday parties.

This is a quiet little park near downtown Philly. There are a few picnic tables and a decent sized playground. The plot of land is rather small, but it made for a great place to eat lunch from Jim’s which is in walking distance. There’s a lot of shade and the atmosphere is great!

Nice little park.
Shame it doesn’t have any grass, or sand to play with.

Fabulous little place full of character and charm. Circular bricked garden feature with various items of greenery which goes towards brightening up the whole park. Children's play area with swings, climbing frames, slides and of course the delightful three bears which especially intrigues and enchants young toddlers. Outdoor dining tables, plenty of seats and lots of small trees which creates a "natural" atmosphere and shade during those long hot summer days. A perfect example of how to create an inner city space to benefit citizens of all ages.

Stumbled upon this gem, a quiet spot to have a picnic lunch in old city. Kids can play and you can enjoy the quaint residential architecture. We added as a stop on our 'walking tours' of old city when visitors come.

Its a very clean and quiet park. We went in the evening. My child loves the park.

Three Bears is a privately-maintained playground for kids between about 2 and 10 years old. It is nicely shaded by trees in the summer heat, and there are areas for picnicking with picnic tables along one side. The climbing structure is perhaps small compared with Seger Park or Starr Garden, but full of activities like slides, monkey bars, suspension bridge and clubhouses.

Traffic is light on the cobblestoned residential streets that bracket the playground, but there are no gates to keep your little ones inside the park, so you'll need to keep an eye out that they don't wander away. Every so often, there is some kind of fun fair or kid-friendly event that is used to raise money for the park. There are flyers posted for schedules at the park, and on their website.

My kids love this park, and I think so will yours!

A lovely children's park. The three bears have been there since my childhood, which is too long ago. Slightly worn, those bears, but still charming.

Nice neighborhood park, my children had a good time, very clean, other visitors were very nice as well.

The first building in the city of Philadelphia to bear the last name of South Philly's most notorious Italian American family was a public bathroom not a sky scaper but hey, Cox only has one limitation and I figured in my absence he could have it. Plus, truth be told our families shared a love of the true Philly, a filthy brotherly lovely example for the rest of the USA to look up to. Like A

Graffiti at the park this morning. I thought Society Hill was a good neighborhood.

Cute little park in a really nice neighborhood. Great for kids under 5.

Nice hidden away park.

Nice small park in a relatively clean part of Philly. They could still use more trashcans, but overall good for small gatherings.

Nice quiet playground very friendly people clean and educated parents that actually watch their kids wile they play

Great park in the city! My kids loved the different activities and neighbors were great!

Lots of fun little park, and happens to be where my parents got engaged about 45 yrs ago!

One of the best kids parks in society hill / old city area.

Safe playground for toddlers and little kids, also in a great neighborhood.
