A fresh air location for a walk/jog, picnic spot, sitting location near the river, few minutes away from the city. If do not have much time in hand for a change from the city, best place to go to and relax. Accessible to wheelchairs, strollers, pets. Even has a dog training park on the side.

When youre there you dont feel like youre in a city and there is a pandemic. The kids playing, family gathering, dogs running around in the dog park just calming to me

This path is great, well-maintained (altho there is a lot of mud leftover from the flooding a few weeks ago, you can tell they worked hard to clear the paths) and safe. I love walking here after work to get steps in. Plenty of places to sit and chill along the schuylkill. I wish there was a little more room along certain parts of the path so you dont have to worry about a bike careening into you but that can just as easily be solved by a quick glance behind you.

Evening view of city from walk down schuylkill river park and trail. Watched the dogs play in the large dog park, people fishing along the river, people waiting for their turn at the Tennis courts, and kids playing on the playground. Lots of open space for folks to sit out and maintain social distancing. Great neighborhood park. The bike and walking trail takes you up to Art Museum and all the way to Valley Forge.

Such a nice getaway within the city. The riverside and the sidewalks are great for relaxing, running and taking your dogs out.

So amazing to have a real garden vibe right in Center City, along the river! Fresh air, running water, nice people and dogs, plus community gardens! A must if you live in the city!

Tennis courts are in perfect condition. They have a plastic surface that Ive never seen before but it wasnt sticky, and its probably just to prevent puddles. Very nice park, Ill be back ️

We spent two hours here with Smokey and had a great time. The park is very clean and well maintained. There is fresh water available for the dogs, even small pools for the dogs to cool off in. People are friendly, and helpful. We liked the fact that there were 2 areas, one for smaller dogs and one for larger dogs. Overall, this is a nice place to visit with your dogs, very relaxing atmosphere. We wish there were parks like this in NJ!

I suggest you get a fishing license and enjoy the water with family and friends Im all right

Is there no grass sacred anymore?! We went to sit on a patch of grass and have a meal under a tree and despite the fact that there is a dog park just 200 ft away, there were leashed (1 was unleashed) dogs there too, doing all things dogs do! It was an absolute let down as we cannot seem to find dog-free, human only grass anywhere in the city. Dont get me wrong, I love dogs, I just want clean grass other than my backyard sometimes to enjoy a day out Earthing and dining

This park is so well maintained. There’s a community garden (though it’s fenced in), a dog park, basketball courts, and tennis courts.

It was a beautiful scenery, with the lights at night made the city look very pretty.

Absolutely hands down my favorite place to be in the city. This dog park is a community of fellow dog lovers and for the most part everyone gets along, with spirited play fighting under watchful eye surveillance. Dogs of all sizes, quirks and characters come here and like to romp around and socialize with others of their kind or the human beings. It is a good sized, double gated fenced in play area complete with a few benches to sit on, minor shrubbery area for dogs to sniff, and small watering station and mini pool for our four legged friends to cool off a bit. Love this park, highly recommend.

EXCELLENT views! Decently crowded. The boardwalk is relaxing. Theres an option to rent a Kayak. Great for a relaxing sunrise or sunset.

Actual dog park is very nice size and well-kept. The people that were very nice

Awesome a place for a quote walks and evenings.. close to Phoenixville downtown makes it easier to grab a quick k bite after a hike trail . Loved the cleanliness and the park with wildlife which has peculiar species to attract people.

Dog park was great except for the gate situation! You close one gate before you open the next.

I love going herr to clear my thoughts and get in touch with nature in the city

Allot of people doing their thing on a beautiful November day! Everyone masked up, even the dogs!

Great park. Even better views. Excellent location, tons of different paths & a playground, basketball courts, etc. definitely recommend it.

Small but friendly. Nice dog park

Amazing park and trail along side Schuylkill river..very clean and great views..a must see

Place is beautiful!! Great for night time walks on walkway. Nice views as well.

Great park! Lots of open green space. Well kept playground for kiddos of all ages. Easy access to trail to bike or walk. Big rocks for sitting along the River. Look for the wonderful mural of our “Boys of Summer”! Water fountains along the trail. Two dog parks for big or little dogs!Street parking so you may have to circle around a bit but well worth it.

The dog park here is amazing! And you cant beat a nice walk along the river

Well-maintained, lively park with a cute community garden. I like bringing my hammock and relaxing here on nice days.

We love coming here. Great dog park, lots of friendly people. Now heres some cute pictures. :)

Good People wonderful site and the river is right there. A beautiful seen at nite.

Still pretty crowded on a nice day but its so relaxing

Schuylkill River Park was a great park for a family photo session. It was really fun to take pictures here! It had a nice mix of urban and greenery. The sunset lighting was the best and its great for a family stroll in the park.

Wonderful breeze all the time. Great views. Best on a sunny day

Best place to meet friends and take your dogs

Wow! I walked this park/trail recently. There are great views and easy access to downtown Philly. Not quite as posh as Bostons Greenway but on its way. Dont miss it.

Its a dope place. In the morning, you can run with a breeze hitting your face; in the evening, you can walk looking at the buildings with dope lights. So, yeah. Its a nice place

My happy place before the pool opens in May. From a picinic on the grass, a brisk walk or bike ride I just love it here. Cant wait for the expansion past South Street is finished!

Great riverfront path for a run or for cycling. Awesome of the city too.

Nice trail for walking, biking. There is places for sittings with view on west Philly.

Great park. I cycle there a few times a week.

Great park. Dog friendly. They have a large and small dog park. The park also had a beautiful garden. Its decent sized!

Absolutely love the Schuylkill banks, it’s a great place to go out and take a walk or ride your bike! I can’t wait for it to be finished and connect the majority of Phila neighborhoods together! If you haven’t taken a trip to this great outdoor area right in the heart of the city you are missing out!

Beautiful park, on the river. Friendly people

Beautiful, but poorly maintained. No working facilities at all. Whoever runs it should be held accountable.

Down by the riverside. Meditate and feel great

Probably my favorite park in the city because of the aesthetics of the skyline, newly erected walkways, trees and basketball courts, which arent double rimmed and has good runs, especially in the spring and summer. Both Laid back and festive atmosphere. Of course, its one of the featured parks in the city, so its well taken care of haha. At any given time, youll see dogs when on their hind legs, that are as tall as some humans, and so well trained, its scary. Nice tennis courts and field as well as spacious areas for the children.

Very nice place for your Pooch and you.

Nice park in a great, established Philly neighborhood. We were lucky enough to find street parking because there is no parking lot. To some I suppose this adds to the parks charm but to me it was the only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars.

Beautiful place to observe dog politics aka the dog park

Nice place for jogging and work out

Clean, beautiful and a lot to do... dog parks, playground, tennis court, basketball court, etc.

Great outdoor greenspace in Philadelphia.

Encouragingly well utilised addition to the riverside.

Awesome place to relax, take your mind off things, enjoy the view of the river and roads. Biking, dogwalking, and having a hammock is all allowed. This free city park is close to Drexel and UPenn University. Lots of nature, from flowers to insects. There is also a dog park here as well!

Worth a visit . very nice.

Love this park. Great playground, dog park and lots of benches. Good place to relax and people watch.

Unique, clean and modern venue.

My foster dogs have absolutely loved the dog park. It is a gem!

Nice chill spot to have a walk late at night when no ones around

Very nice place to walk, hangout, or just enjoy the day

Beautiful walk on the river, we saw turtles sunbathing in the river.

Nice park in the middle of the city with a walking trail over Schuylkill river

Its my daughter favor Park

I love this park so much. Even the bees are friendly.

Fantastic recreation area! Always a breeze and great views of the city!

This area of the Philidephia lights up vibrantly in the night time. Saw the entirety of it while in a Uber.

Great park. Easily one of the best places to jog, relax and get a great view of the city

Great walking path with amazing views of the city.

Brautifil park nice along side water walk graet place to take a nice walk

Love this place. Best dog park in Center City. It’s not huge but there is always enough room even when it’s packed with dogs. It does have separate enclosures for small dogs and big dogs which is super nice- the big dog park has more space as well and I’ve never seen space be a problem there.For the most part the doggie parents here are nice too. I’ve met really nice people there.I think it helps that people can decide what side is best for their dogs.People share the toys they bring and are not uptight about it when other dogs play with their dog’s toys. So, if you bring a toy make sure you don’t mind other dogs playing with it.Depending on when you go sometimes there is on street parking in the neighborhood. If there’s any other parking associated with the park I am unaware of it.It’s open 24/7 and has small stadium style lighting and I’ve seen other people their with their dogs as late as midnight.There is also seating for the parents and water for the dogs. The park is made of AstroTurf which is cool too because my dog gets less muddy here. Although, she still may get dirty it’s not as bad as other parks. The parents also all clean up after their dogs and it’s very clean.Highly recommended if your dog loves playing with other dogs.Just know that most dogs that come here like to wrestle, all in good fun. So, if you’re dog isn’t into that sort of off leash play than this is not be the park for you.But, if your dog likes to rip around with other dogs in good supervised fun, then place is perfect!

Great place for kids

One of phillys many wonders...whether its walking, jogging, biking or just getting some sun...this is the place...

My dog loves it here! Great dogs and friendly people in a beautiful park.

Pleasurable path by the Schuylkill river. Always pretty lively with walkers, runners, cyclists and strollers. There are regular yoga classes and boating opportunities. Great way to begin or end your day. Excellent sunset views. You can walk up to the art museum. While there are no cars here, just on the other side of the river is the expressway, so there’s some traffic noise.

Outstanding dog park, with well-maintained grounds and an extremely friendly atmosphere.Fences with double-gates help ensure that your unleashed dog can wander freely and socialize safely.Has greatly improved over the last few years.Highly recommended-- easily one of my favorite attractions in the city!

Schuylkill River Park is a swath of land owned by the Philadelphia Department of Parks and Recreation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. ... It also encompasses the Schuylkill River Park Community Garden, which is on land owned by the Department of Parks and Recreation and managed by the Center City Residents Association.

It a breathe of fresh air. Amd the food carts along the way is amazing.

By far and away this has been one of the best upgrades to the South Philadelphia area of the city right along the Schuylkill River there are beautiful landscapes, very nice trails for running and biking.theres a skate park just before the art museum and then the art museum right along the trail as well as boathouse row.I spend so many hours and miles on this trail in the summertime it is truly the daytime place to be from memorial day to labor day in Philadelphia on the Southside

Had a nice walk n talk with my someone

Good spot to see the city and taking a walk

MY FAVORITE EVER. 7 years plus of loving this place; countless runs on the river, evenings of movies and beer gardens. THIS IS A REASON TO MOVE TO PHILLY.

Truly beautiful trail..Nice to walk with a special someone. Also the neighborhood is amazing

Great spot to being your dog, watch other peoples dogs, or both! Running room, accessible water, and convenient location!

Love it. Friendly dogs, responsible owners, water, tennis balls. Seperate big and small dog parks. Fun times for all.

Love taking my dogs there. Clean and very well kept.

Very comfortable, with good facilities. My dogs loved it

Great place for dogs big and small!!!!

Too crowded sometimes, but thankful it exists.

Great outdoor space. Plenty of benches to admire the view. The jutting pier like walk way is nice. And the trail leads up to King of Prussia. Bike recommended for long travels.

Nice place to spend the evening walk

One of the most beautiful places Ive been in Philadelphia. Absolutely worth a visit, especially Row House lane

Really nice dog park here that has separate areas for small dogs and larger dogs. They even have little kiddie pools for the dogs to play in and cool off. There is an overpass for human runners where they can look over and watch pups play :)

This park is in a nice location by the river. In the vicinity are dog parks ( one for small dogs and another for all others) where we could watch them playing from a walkway ramp above. There are restrooms and close by play areas for kids and basketball courts. Its a lovely setting, and the row house neighborhoods are right across the street. There is a big lawn down by the river edge where you can sit on your chair or blanket.

Easily the jewel of Philly. Several miles of uninterrupted green space to escape the city. A stones throw from Grad hospital, center city and Fairmount. Plenty of space to walk the dog, ride a bike, or lounge on the banks!

Very nice walking trail and very clean place overall. No trash on the grass or on the trail but the bathrooms are a lot to be desired. Its basically a port a potty in a little shelter. I dont know if there is an elevator to get there from street level but I know if you come by in front of the Roberts Pediatric Research center there is a ramp to get there.

GREAT PLACE TO GO FOR A WALK AND MEET INTERESTING PEOPLE AND A GREAT PLACE TO GO FISHING

Beautifully maintained. Great bike path

Great for recreation and exercise.

Its so beautiful fresh air

Upity baby-folk cant just let their dogs be dogs. No barking too loud, playing rough, running too fast, or too much fun. Get over it. The dogs get 5 stars, park gets 3 (Too little), owners get 0 stars.

If youre ever visiting Philly then you MUST come here. This park is great for just about anything; running, walking, biking, rollerblading, a picnic, city exploration, and the list goes on. I would recommend coming slightly before the golden hour, the sun sets beautifully with the city at itz forefront and you can catch a lot of great spots just to take in the beauty of it all. A must go to!

Two dog parks. One for smaller dogs. Nice area. Stays pretty clean
