Beautiful women and men alike running, riding, rolling along our awesome water supply. This place is the spot. I am here 4-6 times a week riding along at a pace that far to fast to be safe. go here.

If this park wasn't so close to railroad tracks, and highways overhangs, I'd be surprised that not too many people know about it. but despite it's location Schuylkill River Park might just be the best park in the city. It's huge so huge and very well maintained.

There are plenty of park benches and grass for people to sit on, and there's a trail that easily connects everything that the park has to offer. Inside you'll find basketball courts, a great tennis court, and a great playground for kids to play on. But my favorite thing about the park is the serene community garden.

Shuylkill River Park is also a paradise for dog's and their owners. they will get a kick out of running along the patches of green. but there's also a good sized dog bowl for them to run around and make some friends in.

Another 5 stars to this portion of the park...they have basketball nets, tennis courts, a very large baseball field, a garden and a beautiful updated playground for the kids!  It's located in such a beautiful section of town too.  I love my visits over here.  
Psst..if anyone hears of a great sale on a house in this side of town...pass it on!  I'm dying to move closer to this great park!  I love that it's so close to the banks and the Dog Park, I love that they have such fun festivals, the fall festival they host here is AMAZING!   It's a great park!
