Logan Circle, Urban park in Center City, Philadelphia, US
The circular park features a central water fountain surrounded by paved pathways, green spaces, and connecting streets to Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
Thomas Holme designed this park as Northwest Square in 1684 as part of William Penn's original city plan for Philadelphia.
The park hosted the Great Sanitary Fair in 1864, where President Abraham Lincoln donated signed copies of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Multiple pathways through the park connect to museums, residential areas, and commercial establishments in Center City Philadelphia.
French architect Jacques Gréber redesigned the park to mirror Paris's Place de la Concorde, incorporating European design elements into Philadelphia's landscape.
