PHILADELPHIA PARKS
“I’d like to see Paris before I die... Philadelphia will do.” - W. C. Fields

Fairmount Park
Fairmount Park is more than 2,000 acres, over twice the size of Central Park. The park, divided into East and West sections by the Schuylkill River, is a wealth of natural landscapes, rolling hills, gentle trails, relaxing waterfront and shaded woodlands. It is one of Philly’s most popular running and biking destinations. The paved path begins behind the Philadelphia Museum of Art and winds its way past Boathouse Row along the Schuylkill River before reaching East Falls Bridge.
