A Walking Tour of FDR Park (Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park), Philadelphia, PA

From John Fischer, former About.com Guide

On the southern side of FDR Park you'll find Ashburn Fields, named for Phillies' outfielder and National Baseball Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn. This two-field complex is without rival in Philadelphia. The regulation size field regularly hosts collegiate play and championship games and an accompanying Little League field offers area youngsters a "big league" experience.

On the northern side of the park you'll find several additional baseball/softball fields which are often used by locals for less formal games.

The park also has a large number of tennis courts which are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
