[462] 3 1/2 stars…read more This is a hidden park that I only "found" due to a sporting event. It's tucked away in UD. There are swingsets, baseball fields, soccer practice area, marble playing area, tennis courts and trails. The grass is cut so the park is kept up. I'll definitely be back but bring bug spray. We came right after it rained and the bugs were chomping on us.

Within a few minutes you are surrounded by trees and walking along Naylors Run stream. Similar to the trails in Fairmount Park in all but size, this trail is great for a short (apx a mile) head clearing walk in the midst of Upper Darby. Don't miss the amazing tutor house on the right as you walk in, the house and natural landscaping are worthy of a look!

Umoja means unity, but this is known to residents as the "triangle park"…read more A triangular greenspace bordered by Rutgers Ave, Kenyon Ave, and Yale Ave, Umoja Park is relatively small for a park, but a well-sized outdoor picnic/frisbee/gathering space. Umoja Park used to be the site of a 20th C. school building. It has a perimeter of shade trees, with a cleared lawn in its center. There are a couple (not many) picnic tables, and several benches under the shady trees. For a fun time hit Umoja Park on July 4th for their annual firehose fight! It's great old fashioned fun, always with a few people showing the witty vibe of Swarthmore locals (eg. two dads playing frisbee in the middle of a firehose stream)! This small but spirited green space is a cool spot to take in nature, peace, and local flavor! My grandmother grew up on Yale Ave, so it is also nostalgic to me, imagining my Quaker ancestors' daily lives there in the early 20th C.

Overall looked nice, actually a little bigger than we expected. The plantings on the walkway to the park were nice and in pretty good shape for this time of year. Easiest thing to do is park in the parking lot across the street by the Dunkin Donuts and then walk over, you will see a large bar with the name on it. Basically between the Coast Guard Station and the Sheet Metal complex.

I wanted to love this place... and to be honest I do. It's right near my house, and I like to…read morethink its my tax dollars hard at work. My hesitation arose after it first opened. I was really excited so I brought my boyfriend here to show him. He was looking around, and someone involved in the administration of the park yelled at him for standing off the path as though he was a child. He was really crushed that someone would think he was being so disrespectful when he was exercising extreme caution to get a better view of a bird. As a result, he refuses to go back. Washington Avenue Green is now 'that park where that woman yelled at me like a child'. Really a bummer... whoever that woman is- everyone has the right to enjoy the space respectfully as they choose to do so. I still jog through a few times a week.

Much like Jefferson Square Park…read more(http://www.yelp.com/biz/jefferson-square-park-philadelphia?hrid=HXl7DlrCnaLA9iLGadtx_w#src:self) Dickinson Square is one of those often overlooked Square's that's worth the visit. Only, while it still doesn't offer as much as the likes of Rittenhouse or Washington Square, it does come with a few more amenities. The basketball court seems to be packed well into the night hours, There's a good assortment of playground equipment to play in, and there's a couple of eclectic sculpture pieces that's worth stopping to admire. It's also the perfect spot to stop in worth either some quality South Philly people watching, or when you can't wait to savor whatever Gooey Louie's sandwiches or Grindcore baked goods you take home with you. And in the occasional farmers market and festival, and it provides the perfect dose of park life.

Sharon Hill Memorial Park is host to the Sharon Hill Borough Cultural and Arts commission events…read more Often you'll find vendors, food trucks music along with the playground in this park. This playground park is very clean and I would recommend it to anyone. The only downside is Parking comes at a premium as the park does not have a parking lot and it is in a residential area. Additionally it's neighbor is a church the overflow of parking on Sunday from the church may make it difficult. Nice relaxing park and well-kept with entertainment I'll visit again and again.

My daughter loves this park,…read more Clean the children are usually friendly and play together. They have all of the basic playground stuff for the kids, slides swings and other things. The only issue I have found is that when it's crowded it's hard to find close parking space but over all I recommend this playground. This was remodeled about 4 years ago before that it was a mess.

We were pleasantly surprised to find out that there are so many mountain bike trails traveling from Springfield, into Media, and Upper Providence. They travel along side rolling creeks, that may or may not be stocked. There are swings and a couple jungle gym sets for the kiddos. What a great idea, have your birthday party outside, in the fresh air and nature. We love the outdoors, especially at this time of year. Bring your softball and glove or football and have a family fun day. The Johnny on the spot was very clean, there was no trash anywhere. We were so impressed with the upkeep of our park. We gave it a 10 out of 10. Thank you God for the gift of nature!
