It's a beautiful, beautiful park. Always clean and well maintained. Pristine most times. There are well-maintained ball fields, and an adequate amount of park benches and picnic tables. !!!!! There are also clean restrooms !!!! There is a beautiful paved, mature tree lined walking path around the perimeter which I'm guessing is about a half a mile in length. The community takes advantage of this local gem. Today I saw people doing yoga in the park and preschoolers having a very fun soccer lesson set to music with an energetic instructor. Kudos to Lower Merion for all they do to keep this park special.

Wynnewood Valley Park is experiencing something of a Renaissance, lately, something I am very happy…read moreto see. The park itself is long and rather narrow, following along a valley created by a creek. The creek itself is a source of great entertainment for children and adults too - bring your water shoes! In the past few years via much cooperation with the park and other groups we have a revived the "sensory garden' for people with different sensory issues - from sound to smell to taste to touch. It's really lovely for all visitors and highly accessible too. The park also has recently added a 9 hole disc golf course that is both challenging and fun. There is a playground area and a grassy area where in recent years summer music events have been staged. It's a lovely park with so much to offer!

Lovely little park with two playgrounds, tennis courts and sensory garden.read more

This is my 1600th review (not including updates) in eighteen years, and it has taken me this long…read moreto drop a review for the playground where I've spent most of my days! This review might be a bit of a biased five stars, but it's impossible to rate any lower when it's the playground where I've spent most of my days, and the place that helped me find my love for park life (https://youtu.be/YSuHrTfcikU?si=PrZeWmpeKdccrNoj)! Narberth Park is the first park where I ever swung on a swing and the first park where I got kicked out of for night swinging as a young adult. It's the first place where I developed my love for baseball and hit my first of many RBIs on a field! Narberth Park is the first place I ever experienced fireworks, and my friend's high school metal band was denied a performance during a firework during the '90s despite winning a Battle of the Bands in its gazebo. But since that one oversight, The Narberth Fireworks has evolved into one of the best places to see a neighborhood firework display since it has featured food from the likes of Federal Donuts and Chickie & Pete's and music from the likes of Snacktime and Funkitorium. From sharing many good times with my cousins during summer sports camp to randomly introducing our rescue dog to a camel during one of their outdoor circuses, Narberth Park is a place of many good memories for me. And so long as it's still going strong, I'm destined to enjoy many more!. So even though it took 1600 reviews, I'm happy to include it as part of my Park Life collection on here.

I went to Linwood Park yesterday for the "LOVE Rally" in response to the horrible events in…read moreCharlottesville. I arrived at the park a few minutes before the event started and was able to experience it's beauty. First, there is no playground or basketball courts, but it is rather more of a community park where people can get together. For example, they had a Little Free Library, benches where people were taking and a large open area where you can have catch! Many kids were having a catch or climbing their large trees. Around the entire park is a long, well-maintained cement trail! It is great to just walk on it and see the beautiful park, which has tons of flowers and statues! You can even use the trail at night as it has lights in it! One statue showed a boy and girl sitting on a bench together. That pretty much represents what the park is! There is also a reflexology walk. Though, you have to take your shoes off to properly use it. The rally itself was very nice and showed hope for America. U.S. Congressman Dwight Evans as well as State Representatives Daylin Leach and Mary Jo Daley spoke! This park is also run by a group called Friend's of Linwood Park who keeps it clean and up to date. They also host tons of events including Movie Nights and a day where exotic animals came! Altogether, this is an amazing park to have fun at!

While it certainly isn't anywhere near the size of Rittenhouse, Linwood Park has been the one to deliver that type of atmosphere the best. Inside you'll find plenty of cozy spots to relax and read a book in, interesting statues hidden in gardens, and spots for kids to play in. But you'll also find a newspaper box re-purposed as a take a book leave a book station, a bike station with a built in tire pump, ramp style walls that make it skater friendly, and a pathway that illuminates at night. Toos in local activities like a farmers market and movies night, and you have a tiny spot that brings plenty to the Ardmore community.

Throughout the gardens you'll find many places to sit either in the sun or in the shade. It is very easy to find this location if you're on City Avenue on St. Joseph University campus there's a large street sign and information leading you directly to the Arboretum. Once you park hopefully you'll be greeted warmly as I was by Officer Blake who went over a little information such as hours and maps. This is a stop well worth making not only is it beautiful and serene it is also free!

Today, when I pulled up, I saw way more people than usual on the trail. I thought to myself, "I'm here early. I got time. Let's check it out." Glad I did! It was about 1.25 miles down to West Chester Pike, so roughly a 2.5 mile loop from the YMCA. Great little paved path to get a warm-up walk/jog in. It is flat and paved the whole way, so it is handicapped accessible. Lots of doggo walking and bike riding. I recommend it!
