This is my go to spot...honestly. I call it my Oasis in life!! Went back today with one of my dearest friends who hasnt seen it. She fell in love with this spot too! So will you (again and again)
Ive had many nice picnics with my friends there over the years. its a lovely bit of garden and nice grassy field next to it if you want to do some sporty things.
Peaceful and serene, lovely patch of earth amidst the concrete jungle of brotherly love
One of my favorite spots in Philly .... Shhh dont tell anyone lol
Always a good place to relax in the sunshine with family and friends. The shady trees helped with our physical distancing!
One of the distinct pockets of Fairmount Park. A nice hangout spot for groups of friends, either on the grass lawn below or along the trails in the upper wooded section. You can sit on top of the Kelly Drive rock tunnel overlooking the river.In the warmer months on the weekends there are often daytime dance parties under the trees.
Kool place for relaxing
Definitely walk round the water fall, climb down the man hole, and check out the under belly of the subterranean park. Make sure it hasnt rained recently
I love this spot, it holds a special place in my heart which is why i wish people would take better care of it! stop throwing your trash wherever you want....the Earth is not a trash-can. its our home, so take better care of it!
Okay, so its a nice place, especially if you dont mind the trains going past all the time. People have parties on the lawn and such. But the real fun of up in the woods. Tread carefully. There are some dirt jumps up there, and some parties at the right time, plus a bunch of things I wont tell you about - they deserve their privacy til you find them yourself.
Beautiful section of the Fairmount Park system. Small inset waterfall that leading to a pond. Stone steps (full of old graffiti) lead up to winding paths. Several rock formations and settings are found in rhe woods. Everything was very nice meshed with the forest. Picnic with awesome people under the shade of trees.
A great peaceful place in an other wise noise city
Beautiful park that’s often passed by without notice! Hidden gem!
It was wonderful.
This is a great park for a sunny afternoon. Occasionally, there are events here with outdoor music / dancing, or other games. They also have weddings here occasionally, but most of the time its just a great park to hang out in. The pathways on the north side of the park lead up into an elevated area which used to have some BMX bike jumps, and usually has some homeless folks who set up camp here, but Ive never had any issues with anyone or felt unsafe. If you follow some of the paths toward the river, theres a really nice view over Kelly drive and the waterfront.
Beautiful nice spot
Great place for a picnic or to set up a croquet course. On Kelly drive across from the Promontory Rock. Easiest access is Brewery Hill Lane off of Girard Ave.
Nice and peacefully
A very underrated spot in Philadelphia. Upon entering you can barely tell youre in a city anymore, and suddenly feel like youre in the ruins of a civilization lost. Take some time to wander around and explore as theres many interesting things to observe.
Love vibing out here
Philly gem
Perfect spot for a picnic on Sunday with sangria
Amazing place to venture
Its not the best maintained area, but the music events people throw there are pretty sweet.
Could be cleaner not terrible nothing a good volunteer clean up day couldnt fix
