Overview

LOVE Park, officially John F. Kennedy Plaza, is a Center City plaza named for the Robert Indiana LOVE sculpture that overlooks it, one of Philadelphia's most photographed spots. The sculpture was first placed here for the 1976 Bicentennial and removed in 1978, then bought by the Art Commission chairman Fitz Eugene Dixon Jr. and permanently installed that year. The park is dedicated to President Kennedy.
