Reviews of Lake Philadelphia navy yard

Good winter location for a variety of waterfowl. Good access to the Delaware River.

I lived a few miles from there from 2014 until November of 2022 and my neighbor and I would walk from Broad and Oregon to the Navy Yard then walk down to the dock, around the entire Yard and check out the scenery, the wildlife, flowers, looking at the fish trying to grab the bugs hovering over the water trying to get a drink.. it was a nice place to go and clear your mind etc. although it looks a little rough and could use a little landscape refreshing but there is quite a bit of history to learn about.. and be sure to visit the Gatehouse at the conclusion of your visit

I was very privileged to be able to take a dry dock tour of Battleship New Jersey in Dry Dock number 3.

Fun with a lot of activities and probably one of the few safe places left in Philadelphia where you can actually walk, run, take the family for a picnic, or just do whatever.

We used to live at the Naval Yard when we were children, we recently were able to go back and visit and I'm very very pleased to see how well it's been taken care of. We were even able to get a bite to eat and ocktails at a restaurant near the main gate. Very nostalgic seeing everything again. It has been so well taken care of, almost like it has stood still in time! Very grateful for that!
