<p>This is a big deal for Penn.
I can’t go today, but plan on going Saturday.</p>
<p>Is the park open to the public?</p>
<p>According to the published faq:</p>
<p>Yes. Penn Park is open to the public. Non-affiliated parties can enjoy the multiple open spaces
for recreation, and use the area as a pedestrian connection for walking, jogging and biking.
While the athletic facilities exist primarily for the Penn community and its guests, they are
available via permit and reservation to accommodate specific games, tournaments, and
appropriate structured and unstructured games, sports tournaments, concerts, and special
events. For more information on how to rent an athletic venue, or reserve a space for special
events, please visit pennpark.upenn.edu</p>
<p>Thanks ttparent.
Communities around Penn are lucky.</p>
<p>Btw, the new fields and tennis courts are gorgeous.</p>
