Bardascino Park, located at 10th and Carpenter Streets in Philadelphia, PA, is a community gem that has evolved from its origins as a site for the Community Hospital, which closed in 1968. Established in 1978, the park is named after local resident Giuseppe Bardascino, a prominent figure in the Italian Brass Band, and has undergone significant revitalization efforts since the 1990s to rejuvenate the space into a clean and inviting communal gathering area. The Friends of Bardascino Park, formed in 1991, play a vital role in the park's upkeep and organization of community events. Through partnerships and renovations, including the addition of a bocce court and colorful landscaping, the park continues to be a cherished destination for residents and visitors alike.
