Paying for parking near Clothespin Sculpture, is easy
Clothespin Sculpture is a 45 foot tall weathering steel artwork by Claes Oldenburg that rises above the subway entrance at Fifteenth and Market Streets, directly across from Philadelphia City Hall. Installed in 1976 for the nation’s Bicentennial, this playful yet monumental clothespin has become a Center City landmark, a popular meeting spot, and a favorite photo stop for visitors exploring the city’s rich collection of public art. With its central location in the busy business district and immediate access to transit, traffic around the sculpture is typically steady throughout the day, especially during rush hours and weekday lunchtime.
Because of this constant activity and the dense mix of offices, shops, and attractions nearby, on street parking is limited, metered, and often subject to time limits, which can make finding a space on arrival stressful. Reserving parking in advance and planning your arrival time helps ensure convenient, secure parking near Clothespin Sculpture so you can focus on enjoying the artwork and the surrounding sights rather than circling crowded blocks. Always review the latest local parking regulations, meter times, and official city guidance before you travel to confirm current rules and any updates that may affect your visit.
