Eastern State Penitentiary Park was established in 1996 by local residents as a green space for the enjoyment of the local community and a recreation area for the students of Bache-Martin Elementary School. Its area encompasses the two parcels of land adjacent to the historic Eastern State Penitentiary across from the Bache-Martin Elementary School, along the 2100 block of Brown Street and the 700 Block of Corinthian Avenue.
