Eakins Oval, Public park in Fairmount district, Philadelphia, United States.
The Eakins Oval features a central fountain system with pedestrian pathways surrounding the Washington Monument at Benjamin Franklin Parkway's northwest terminus point.
The park's Washington Monument, designed by Rudolf Siemering, moved to its current location in 1928 following the completion of Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
The park transforms into Philadelphia's main summer destination with outdoor concerts, art exhibitions, mini-golf courses, and community gatherings from July through August.
Visitors can access the park Thursday through Sunday, with extended hours on weekends and multiple food trucks serving diverse menu options throughout the season.
Two tunnels run beneath Eakins Oval: the lower one carries CSX freight trains while the upper tunnel, formerly used by trolleys, now serves vehicle traffic.
