Clarkson Park
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Clarkson Park is a 4-acre public park located beside Einstein Hospital along Broad Street in North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
McCloskey & Faber provided site design, landscape design, construction documentation, and construction administration services to create an aesthetic ‘front-door’ to the hospital. We redesigned this area for greater accessibility and visibility from a major city thoroughfare.
Columns from the historic United States Mint in Philadelphia were intended to be incorporated into a "Central Green" with seating providing relief from the surrounding urban environment. However, the column portion of this park was not constructed as originally intended.
We were fortunate to again be involved with Einstein Hospital, to locate the Columns from the United States Mint in an even more prominent position at the main vehicular entrance to the Hospital grounds. Please see Einstein Column Park elsewhere on this website.
