Mayfair Park

A Neighborhood Haven

Found in Northeast Philadelphia's Mayfair neighborhood, Mayfair Park is that quintessential local green space where memories are made. Sitting right next to Mayfair Elementary School on Princeton Avenue, it's perfectly positioned for both school kids to burn off energy after class and nearby residents to escape the urban hustle.

This park has been the backdrop for countless community moments over the years. Some locals we've chatted with have been coming here for over 15 years - imagine all the first bike rides, family picnics, and impromptu baseball games these grounds have witnessed!

What You'll Find Here

The park offers those simple but essential features that make a neighborhood park work. There are generous open green spaces where you can toss a frisbee, set up a picnic, or just lie back and cloud-watch if that's your thing. Thanks to Philadelphia Parks & Recreation's maintenance, the grounds stay in pretty good shape year-round.

Sports enthusiasts will find baseball fields, basketball courts, and soccer fields that see plenty of action on weekends. If you've got little ones in tow, there's a playground that, while not massive, has enough slides and swings to keep kids entertained while you catch up with neighbors or enjoy a moment of peace.

Planning Your Visit

The park welcomes visitors from dawn until dusk daily, so whether you're an early bird jogger or prefer evening walks as the day cools down, the timing works.

If accessibility matters for your visit, it's worth noting that while the park is wheelchair accessible, parents with strollers might find some areas a bit challenging to navigate due to the terrain. Just something to keep in mind as you plan your outing to this neighborhood green.
