Logan Square

Logan Square sits in the northwestern part of Center City, bordered by Broad Street, the Schuylkill River, Market Street, and Spring Garden Street, and is known for its grand Benjamin Franklin Parkway, corporate high-rises, and tree-lined residential blocks. Iconic sights such as Logan Circle with Swann Memorial Fountain, LOVE Park, the Franklin Institute, the Barnes Foundation, the Academy of Natural Sciences, and the nearby Philadelphia Museum of Art draw heavy foot and vehicle traffic throughout the day, especially during peak commuting hours and weekends. Streets around the Parkway, City Hall, and major museums can feel busy and competitive for curbside spaces, so drivers should be prepared for one-way streets, timed regulations, and metered parking that fills quickly close to the main attractions.

Because of the neighborhood’s concentration of offices, hotels, and cultural institutions, most visitors rely on a mix of commercial garages, surface lots, and structured parking attached to residential and office towers, with the most in-demand areas clustered near the Parkway, Logan Circle, and City Hall. Reserving parking in advance can make parking in Logan Square far smoother by guaranteeing a spot near your destination, cutting down on circling the block, and reducing stress when navigating Center City traffic. Always review current rules on posted signs and consult updated official city or transit resources before you arrive so you can choose the right garage or lot, factor in local time limits, and enjoy more time exploring the museums, parks, and skyline views.
