Penn Park is 24 acres of athletic fields and open space located to the east of Penn's academic campus, combining sports activity with the opportunity for relaxation and informal play. 

 

Penn Park includes 2 synthetic turf athletic fields, the Dunning-Cohen Champions Field with a seasonal air structure, the James "Ace", Adams Field, a multi-purpose stadium, and the 12-court Hamlin Tennis Center. A surface parking lot occupies the area closest to Lower Walnut Street, and raised landforms support a circulation system of pathways leading to pedestrian bridges that link Penn Park to Walnut Street, the River Fields across the Weave Bridge, and the main campus via the Goldie Paley Bridge at Franklin Field.
