Clark Park/University of the Sciences

Clark Park is one of the great public spaces of West Philadelphia. In the
warm months it hosts community festivals and a weekly farmer’s market. At
the southern end of the park is the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia,
which contains the oldest school of pharmacy in the Western Hemisphere
(founded in 1821). The park boasts the world’s only life-sized statue of
Charles Dickens, a secret community garden, and a fountain that served the
Civil War hospital that was on this site.
