Many residents enjoy the outdoors in this central area of the community. The eponymous park, Hunting Park, offers ten acres of open area for residents to enjoy and socialize. The Better Homes Realty Group's Mike Cirillo says that the location sees a lot of picnickers and carnival goers. The track is great for jogging and there's also a jungle structure for the kids to play on. The community pool is a popular spot for summertime lounging and swimming. Youth baseball games are held at Lighthouse Field. Throughout the year, the facility offers a wide variety of sports programs, one of which is soccer. “It has football, basketball, soccer and softball leagues for all ages,” says Cardona. “The park itself has restrictions. It has to be a park forever.” This means that none of the park’s acreage can ever be developed on.
Residents in Hunting Park have a wide variety of casual dining options to pick from when they want to dine out. Serving traditional Puerto Rican dishes like pork sandwiches, Porky's Point is a straightforward eatery that exclusively takes orders for takeout and specializes in dishes featuring pig ears. Stop by El Greco Pizza, which is conveniently located across from Hunting Park, a green spot. Greek cuisine, including gyros, pizza and hoagies, are available for takeout. It’s not a Philly neighborhood if there isn’t a go-to for cheesesteaks. The enormous cheesesteaks at Max's Steaks are a local favorite, and the neon-lit bar area is the perfect place to wash them down with a drink.
The Hunting Park Station on the SEPTA provides easy access to the City Center for locals. The neighborhood is also easily accessible by automobile; it's less than five miles from the downtown area.
