Friends of Harrowgate Park empowers our neighborhood’s diverse community to activate and advocate for a vibrant, welcoming green space.
Located at the corner of E Tioga Street & the 3400 block of Kensington Avenue, Harrowgate Park lies in the Harrowgate neighborhood of Philadelphia. Harrowgate was established in 1784 by Capt. George Esterly, a Revolutionary War veteran, discovered springs in what is now the site of Harrowgate Square (Park). The spring water was pronounced healthful by Dr. Benjamin Rush, and Esterly established a spa there, with gardens, overnight accommodations, food and drink, occasional concerts, and coach service from Second and Market Sts. in Philadelphia.
Today, Harrowgate Park is easily reached by bus, Market-Frankford El line (Tioga Station), or bike. Harrowgate Park is owned by the City and under the management of the Department of Parks & Recreation.
We are so excited to welcome the following folks to the Friends of Harrowgate Board! Thank you all for your dedication to the community and commitment to helping the Friends of Harrowgate Park steward our beautiful park! Please join us in congratulating and welcoming Zerbe, Danielle, and Sandy to the board! 👏🏽
