Julian Abele Park

Julian Abele Park opened in 2008 and was named in honor of architect Julian Abele, a lifelong resident of the neighborhood, the first black graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's Architecture School and the designer of the west campus of Duke University. The native plant pollinator garden at Julian Abele Park was begun in 2023 and is maintained by the Friends of Julian Abele Park and volunteers from the Southwest Center City Pollinator Pathway.
