Fishtown Recreation Center

Plenty of space for kids to play and plenty of options of different sports.

So relaxing on hot sticky day in Philly, hit the neighborhood swimming pools....Very clean and well taken care of...

What they’ve done to renovate the playground is unreal. Also, the dance classes they offer for the toddlers are awesome. May not be the glitziest, or carry the social currency for the phonies…but my child LOVES going there and she hasn’t taken to any other group/team like this. Seeing her confidence at the little neighborhood holiday show floored me, it was like a different girl. Clearly she feels comfortable, cared for, and motivated to follow the instruction. Not many chances to get your kid an authentic neighborhood style fun-experience anymore. I was even hesitant to review for fear that limited spots may disappear, but they deserve the respect for what they do.

Judging by the name, I thought I was going to a place where one would "wreck fish". Once the confusion was abated and i surveyed my surroundings, disappointment quickly morphed into extreme joy at the sight of a recently renovated playground consisting of pieces I was unfamiliar with but intrigued by. It boasts swingsets, jungle gym, a short track, basketball courts and even an outdoor roller rink! Once I found out about the programs offered to the neighborhood families, I was solidly sure that I had indeed found the gem of Fishtown, so much so, in fact, that my daughter attended the after school program offered there. Wonderful spot to have in any neighborhood, but so glad that it is in mine.

Very confusing how they set things up in a public park and tell your 4 y.o child they are not allowed to play with it that it's only for the kids in camp well if thats the case maybe the camp needs private property for such said private toys and not in a playground that was paid for with my tax paying dollars what happened to the old fishtown and also give us our Freddy Adams memorial back that was promised
