Nature and Parks in Philadelphia

"With over 2,000 acres of land and 50 miles of paved trails, Fairmount Park is Philadelphia’s largest, and most popular, municipal park. Visitors experience the park’s natural beauty, which is made up of woods, meadows, and the Schuylkill River waterfront. When the weather cooperates, parkgoers flock to Fairmount to hike, cycle, ride horses, canoe, and fish. Fairmount is always busy, but the park is so vast that it never feels cramped. The park’s also full of man-made attractions, like a wildlife refuge and education center, public art, the Shofuso Japanese House, the Philadelphia Zoo, and the Smith Memorial Playground, which is perfect if you have kids who need to burn off energy." - MATADOR_NETWORK

My family went to the Smith Memorial Playground at Fairmount Park. You have to sign in to use the park, but it is free. It is a well run organization with great playground equipment including a large wooden slide you slide down using a potato sack. There's an indoor air-conditioned area with restrooms and a toddler playland.

Great visit to the children's playground. The great wooden slide built in the 1890s was the hit, but the other playground features were creative and fun too.

Cherry blossoms were beautiful I did not realize: Fairmount Park is the largest landscaped urban park in the world – it's bigger than Central Park in New York City – with more than 2,000 scenic acres

Wonderful independence fireworks display. The park is under construction summer 2025. Some of it is not open. The pavilion and playground are open.

Most tourists see the art museum steps and Rocky statue. But do yourself a favor, keep going up Kelly Drive to see Historic Boathouse Row and Fairmount Park. It has some of the most scenic river views in Philadelphia, especially Spring cherry blossoms and Autumn fall foliage. It hosts two of the largest rowing regattas in the nation (Stotesbury Cup and Head of the Schuylkill Regatta.)

I went to the Roots Picnic June 1 & 2. I had a wonderful time. I give it a 5 because the 1st day you literally had to walk on top of people to manage your way through to the food truck and Beverage area. Also the other stages you had to navigate through the people again if you want to see an artist. They really should have somebody to design a format for people to place their blankets and have a seating arrangement.

Love this place. Very spacious for a private picnic or family gatherings. The park is often pretty cleaned, however, it has been difficult to find a cleaned and well maintained bathroom. Overall, great place.
