Why These Philly Parks Got 1-Star Reviews
Thursday, 7 May, 2026

Philly is giving its neighborhood parks some TLC this weekend with the start of Love Your Park Week. Running from May 9 through 17, this annual celebration brings volunteers together to clean up some of the 10,000 acres of parkland across the city. However, some people aren't giving our parks the flowers they deserve. So we're revisiting a conversation with the team, host Trenae Nuri, executive producer Matt Katz, senior producer Abby Fritz, and newsletter editor Siani Colón, where we read one-star reviews of the city's green spaces. This episode originally aired on Aug. 19, 2025. Parks we mentioned in the episode: Washington Square Park Matthias Baldwin Park Pastorius Park John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge FDR Park The Woodlands Fairmount Park Smith Memorial Playground and Playhouse Our newsletter has Philly news & events in your inbox every weekday morning.
