Pop up park at Eakins Oval

Throughout the summer, Eakins Oval, in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art was transformed into The Oval, a pop up park on the Ben Franklin Parkway. It hosted a variety of activities, such as food trucks, a life size chessboard, and even a “beach.” Originally scheduled to end Aug. 18, the park events have been extended for two weekends in the fall. This weekend, Oct. 10 through Oct. 13 will be the last chance to visit the park. The theme is “Harvest at the Oval, The New Shape of Fall,” featuring fall themed food vendors, a PHAIR open market, petting zoo and more.
