About LOVE Park

Officially John F. Kennedy Plaza, LOVE Park sits across from City Hall at the foot of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture stands at its center, and a fountain with programmable jets and lights arrived with the 2016 to 2018 rebuild, along with lawns and gardens. You will find lunch trucks on weekdays, and the Christmas Village market sets up here in November and December.
