Whittier's oldest park. Contains a playground and a statue of J.G. Whittier. Founders Day community historical celebration held here the Saturday before Mother's Day. Summer concerts in park on Mondays. Bordering the neighborhood are some of the oldest extant houses in Whittier, built in Craftsman and Victorian styles. One of these houses (6536 Friends) appeared in the movie Hocus Pocus.
The parade scene in the final episode of The Wonder Years was filmed at the corner of Greenleaf Avenue and Philadelphia Street. Kevin (Fred Savage) is standing under the awning of the former Rocky Cola Cafe. He crosses Philadelphia to meet Paul (Josh Saviano) as a parade goes by. Parades actually do go down Greenleaf, but they're usually Christmas parades.
