Fairmount Park

Comment on Facebook

It might be taking lunch on a bench by a majestic statue, participating in the summer rowing camp, rollerblading down West River Drive on the weekends, mountain biking on the Wissahickon Trails or visiting a park playground. No city resident lives more than a mile from one of 62 neighborhood parks. All of these parks make up Philadelphia's 9,200 acre citywide park system, known as Fairmount Park. Everyone has their favorite corner of the park; while very few of us see the entire park in all its splendor, most Philadelphia residents have some part that they call their own.
