Cira Green

FreeLeashed only

An elevated 12th-floor public park atop the Cira Centre South parking garage in University City, offering skyline views, lounge space, food and events. The park includes a designated fenced dog run where dogs may be off-leash, and is open year-round.

Why it made the list

It is one of the few green spaces in Philadelphia where your dog gets a skyline backdrop, plus a legal fenced spot to romp off-leash.

Good to know before you go

Dogs must be on a 6-foot or shorter leash everywhere on the park except inside the fenced dog run, and are not allowed on the lawn grass outside the run, per University City District rules. Opening hours were not published on the cited source; check ucityphila.com for seasonal hours.

Practical notes

  • Use the fenced run for off-leash time, then enjoy the views leashed.
  • Evenings in summer bring events — arrive early for seating.
