Everyone loves a good park.

Fewer like a good office park.

In June of 2015, however, the architecture firm behind New York City's beloved High Line, James Corner Field Operations, did the unthinkable with Philadelphia's Navy Shipyard.

They debuted a beautiful office park.

Tucked inside a circular 0.20-mile track are 46 smaller circles that house trees, ping pong tables, bocce courts, hammocks, an amphitheater, fitness stations, and general purpose circles that are built for your own social circle.

From above, it's stunning. From within, it's an adventure.

The original Navy Shipyard in Philadelphia was built in 1776 and hadn't changed too much in the centuries since.



It wasn't until last summer that 15 years of transformation in the Navy Yard culminated in the year-long construction of a 140-company office park.



For the more than 10,000 people who work in the Navy Yard's office park, that means 74 acres of circular relaxation and recreation.
