Neighborhood Jawnts Tour Series: South Philadelphia

Explore a neighborhood where generations of immigrants have shaped one of Philadelphia’s most culturally diverse communities, and discover how historic FDR Park and the surrounding streets reflect a layered story of recreation, resilience, and traditions that continue to evolve today. From the Olmsted Brothers–designed landscapes of FDR Park to the restaurants, markets, and places of worship that define Lower Moyamensing, this tour reveals how each generation has added its own chapter to the neighborhood’s enduring story.
