Parking
A parking garage is available beneath LOVE Park. You can enter the garage at the corner of 16th Street and Arch Street.
Street parking is limited, so the use of public transportation is strongly encouraged.
Arts and culture
Many visitors like to get a photo with the LOVE sculpture, framed by the fountains and trees of the Parkway. The sculpture is a focal point of the park, most notably on Wedding Wednesdays when couples meet there to marry.
LOVE Park is also home to occasional art installations.
Getting a photo
Throughout many parts of the year, park ambassadors are available to take a photo for you. Ambassadors wear red t-shirts with the LOVE Park logo.
Christmas Village
Late in the year, LOVE Park hosts the Christmas Village, an outdoor holiday market modeled after those in Germany. Get in the spirit of the season by sampling new foods, picking out gifts, and listening to holiday music.
