Fitler Square

Fitler Square is a charming, tree-lined park in the Fitler Square neighborhood of Center City, Philadelphia. Located at 23rd and Pine Streets, this small yet picturesque green space offers a peaceful retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle. Unlike its larger counterpart, Rittenhouse Square, Fitler Square has a more intimate, residential feel, surrounded by historic townhouses, brownstones, and a tight-knit community.

The park features beautifully maintained flower beds, brick pathways, and a collection of sculptures, including a bronze turtle, a ram, and a grizzly bear, which add to its whimsical charm. It is a favorite spot for locals to relax, walk their dogs, and enjoy a quiet moment in nature.

Maintained by the Fitler Square Improvement Association, the park is kept in pristine condition through community support and fundraising efforts. Seasonal events, such as spring plantings and holiday light displays, further enhance its neighborhood appeal.

The Fitler Square neighborhood, named after late 19th-century Philadelphia mayor Edwin Henry Fitler, is known for its tree-lined streets, family-friendly atmosphere, and easy access to the Schuylkill River Trail. With its mix of historic charm and modern conveniences, Fitler Square remains one of the most desirable residential areas in Philadelphia.
