The City of Philadelphia created Bardascino Park on the former Touro Hall site in 1978, named for Giuseppe Bardascino, longtime maestro of the Philadelphia Brass Band, and manager of the Philadelphia Italian Band who was a longtime resident of the neighborhood.

The Friends of Bardascino Park formed in 1991 to beautify the park.
In 1999 the group became a part of the Parks Revitalization Project, a collaborative partnership between the City of Philadelphia's Department of Recreation and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's Philadelphia Green initiative.

The group has secured multiple community partnerships and grants, renovated the park in 2003 and 2004, and has continued to maintain it.
The park has an active bocce court and the park's summer bocce league began in 1997.
