Eastwick

Eastwick sits in the far southwest corner of Philadelphia, close to Philadelphia International Airport and bordered by Darby and Cobbs Creeks, with easy access from I‑95 and I‑76 into Center City. The neighborhood has a laid‑back, residential feel mixed with industrial areas, and is known for its proximity to the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum, Eastwick Regional Playground, local recreation centers, and convenient SEPTA access at Eastwick Station and the 80th Street trolley loop. Traffic tends to be moderate compared with more central neighborhoods, but can build up around Bartram Avenue, Island Avenue, and routes to the airport during peak travel times, so planning your arrival and departure can make the whole visit smoother.

On most residential side streets, parking is relatively approachable, with a mix of curbside spaces and some homes featuring garages, while busier corridors near the airport, business parks, and shopping centers like Penrose Plaza see higher demand at commuter and travel hours. Visitors should watch for Philadelphia’s standard parking regulations, including posted time limits, Residential Permit Parking signs, bus zones, and curb markings, and can use local apps to pay at meters where they are in place. Booking parking in Eastwick in advance is a smart way to lock in a spot near transit, the refuge, or the airport and avoid circling during busy times. Always review current rules and official city guidance before you travel so your trip stays on schedule and stress free.
