Lemon Hill Park, FanFest Philly

A living entity for Philly's FIFA Fan Fest and beyond.

Marvel is working on transforming Lemon Hill in East Fairmount Park for Philadelphia’s FIFA Fan Festival. Continuing our work with Philadelphia Parks and Recreation, our design prepares the park for FIFA World Cup 2026 and enhances the park for the future enjoyment of all Philadelphia residents. Our design approach considers Lemon Hill Park as a living entity, not a static object.

Lemon Hill will be host to the 2026 FIFA World Cup and FanFest will occupy Lemon Hill for the duration of the tournament. A final design will be implemented after the games and leave behind a legacy Park for the City and Community to enjoy.

A Concept Plan shows an interwoven set of paths and new central features to create a hyper programmed and accessible public park worthy of its context along the Schuylkill River and adjacent to such incredible spaces as the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Zoo, Fairmount Parks and City Center.

Community Engagement is paramount to the success of the Park. Here a view of the park highlights its surrounding context and access from all sides.

The historic nature of the site and its ideal perched setting amongst Boathouse Row and the Schuylkill River create the perfect confluence for a extraordinarily valuable gathering space for Philadelphians and public venue for its many visitors.

Lemon Hill Park will not only welcome fans to celebrate the upcoming tournament, but also future parkgoers after the festivities end.
