Spruce Street Harbor Park is located in Philadelphia and is packed with beautiful outdoor elements that make it a great place for visitors of any age. There are features including floating gardens, light installations, craft beer selections, restaurants, and [hanging hammocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-furniture1). The park incorporates over 50 hammocks that have all been handmade and finished in colorful hues and positions including standing, seating, and even an option overlooking the [waterfront](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torontos-harbourfront-centre).

The Oasis at the park looks onto the net lounge, the floating garden, and three barges -- notably, there are plenty of seating options and charging stations as well. The floating garden emphasizes sustainability with its durable construction on post-consumer plastic. At night, the lights brighten up the park and the shipping containers hold retro arcade games to entertain any ages.
