One of my favorite places in the city to go on a short hike and mushroom hunt. I recommend it to anyone looking for some relaxing tree bathing within the city.

Nice, clean cut grass for dogs and kids to play. Cost $23 for 3hrs. Only thing is we had to bring our own grill but it still turned out very nice.

Sept 11: it's great except there is a large hornets nest hanging about 8' up from one of the three large trees in the middle of the field

Love this park for many reasons. Wishing the city would install some EV chargers at parks like this!

Our favorite place to take our energetic pup! This is an unofficial dog park with super friendly people and trails.

Unofficial dog park of the area so if you're upset about unleashed dogs I'd avoid it otherwise great spot.

Great unofficial off leash dog park with access to wissahickon trails. (a park ranger comes for 3 minutes, tells everybody through megaphone to leash dogs.he /she leaves and everybody takes the leash back off.that's how it is there.it's a chill park

Great place to bring your dog to play and have interesting conversation with proud pet owners.

My experience was OK but the technician performed oil change and put wynn additive in my oil without asking I didn't approve of that

This is a small park tucked away In one of the more suburban areas of Philadelphia. There is a large empty field where people train dogs and play with dogs and play with kids and there's also a softball field. There's a pavilion with a fireplace. It's absolutely lovely place to visit in the fall.

Great time at Murrell Dobbins High School's all years event! Thanks for getting us out, getting an opportunity to socialize the new way! Could've done without the dogs hunting for table food

A dog park, not the best idea to cookout at this park. Especially if your not a dog person. Good location though

I parked at this parking lot and went hiking on the Orange Trail of Wissahickon Valley. It’s very well marked and the trail on this side is mostly shady thru woods, while on the other side of the river is mostly a paved road.

It’s exciting to hike thru terrains, muddy areas, steep trails, cross a creek bed, explore under highway bridges and see the interesting graffitis.

Comparing from the flat lands in my area, I prefer trails with elevation on the mountains in PA.

Great place to enter the trails of The Wissahickon, or to let your dogs run with other dogs. I would say this is an unofficial off-leash dog park. Not fenced in, though!

This is a beautiful park! Very well maintained & such a calm & pleasant place to go when you just want to relax & have a little picnic. I will be visiting again.

This was a really lovely meeting spot for a first date. It was out in the open air, and the park had just the right number of people around for it to feel like a safe location. The parking was good at the time I went, but I'm not sure if that will always be true. It was just a beautiful location for the occasion.

Gorgeous hiking and biking spot within minutes of a train station from center city, making for a good day trip for people living at the heart of Philadelphia
