Stephen Girard Park, Public park in South Philadelphia, United States.

The 4-acre park sits between West Shunk, West Porter, 21st, and 22nd Streets, offering green spaces and recreational areas for visitors.

Stephen Girard purchased the land in 1797, developing it into a farming enterprise that expanded to 583 acres before his death in 1831.

The park maintains its connection to Philadelphia's heritage through its location within the Girard Estate neighborhood, named after the prominent financier.

Visitors can access walking paths, picnic spots, and open areas throughout the year, with entry points from multiple surrounding streets.

The park grounds contain the historical marker of Gentilhommiere, indicating the location where Stephen Girard's country mansion once stood.
