People along the path are friendly and just enjoying the day. It's a perfect path to practice for the Broad Street Run if you are local. A pleasant surprise if an eatery around Bryn Mawr I believe that offers food & drinks if you need to take a break. It's so easy that in an hours time you realize you have walked 4 miles. Very clean & well taken care of. Highly recommend!

The trail is great for the novice bike rider like myself. It is paved which is good for my ridiculously impractical cruiser three speed bike. Mile markers as well as historical little signs help you keep your bearings and learn a thing or two along the way. There is plenty of parking, which makes it easier to come out and enjoy the outdoors!

It's good to see her off the cell phone and iPad and just enjoying the beautiful sunshine. Her favorite thing is the swings and the zip line type thing, she can just go back and forth a million times on it, this park also has a walking trail, basketball courts, soccer/baseball fields and ample parking, on this outing we forgot our basketball but was still a nice time.

Its a gravel path around perimeter and is exactly 1 mile so its great for keeping track of your distance and pace. There's also numerous fitness stations if you want to do a full circuit workout. * There are multiple baseball diamonds, soccer fields, basketball courts, a volleyball pit and horseshoes. * You can rent out shaded pavilions and grills for parties and evens. They are pretty nice and spacious. * A mid-sized playground for 1 to 6 year olds. The older kids seem to enjoy it too. * Ample parking with multiple large lots located around the park. The one area for improvement would be add more trees and bushes for shade and scenery. Some masonry, and maybe monuments with local history on it would be a nice bonus.

One afternoon, we had planned to take a walk on the Forbidden Drive, but found that it was very crowded, so we decided to check this out instead - and we're glad we did! There isn't much parking at the house, so part of me hopes it stays fairly hidden. From the house, though, it's a short walk to the preserve, complete with boardwalks and a paved walkway. We had brought the hiking pack to hold the baby on the Forbidden Drive, but this path is very stroller-friendly, so we may do that next time. At the end of the paved path, there's a grassy trail that you can continue on, and we saw people walking back from it, but we didn't check it out this time. We'll try to come back in the future for another look, though!

Wow what a find this preserve was! Another trail looked insanely packed so we looked around on…read moreGoogle maps for an alternative and decided to check this out. This preserve is across from the Erdenheim farm, which at the time of this review had a gorgeous field of flowers in bloom. The preserve is made up of a boardwalk type area/paved trail, with an offshoot around a field (grass) but to a dead end (so you double back). You can hear many birds calling around the boardwalk. On the grass trail, you can get a beautiful view of the tree line, grazing cows, and the meadow. It's lovely in the fall to see the trees just starting to change colors. Zero shade so bring a hat, sunscreen, or sunglasses if it's sunny. No amenities other than a gravel parking lot. It doesn't take long to walk through but if you go at a leisurely pace, you can make an hour of it.

Luckily we brought water! Don't forget to bring water , bug spray, and sunscreen if you come when it is sunny! Amico Island State Park is a beautiful, stunning isolated park. Since it is isolated, there is a lot of different wildlife that can be seen all over the island. My boyfriend and I saw butterflies, ducks, mushrooms, reeds, grasses, and more. There were also birds that could be heard in the trees. There was not as many birds as expected though that might have been due to the heat. We also didn't see any deer but probably for the same reason. There were many bugs, so be prepared for that if you do come. There is one main trail which is very easy to follow as well as side trails. About halfway through the trial, there is a viewpoint which is great for photos and enjoying the scenery. This park is great for hikers, birders, nature photographers and much more! I would totally recommend!

I noticed a few benches and tables along the path if you want to stop and picnic. Overall, it was such a peaceful and serene setting, especially by the water, and the many sweet smelling honeysuckle paths. The park is basically a 2mi loop which took me about 35 mins to complete from beginning to end, with a couple stops for pics, and to take it all in. I only noticed one other person when I started, but as I was leaving, quite a few groups were arriving. So if you want to avoid crowds maybe early is best, or an afternoon start for those who want a lot of company.

Its nearly 15 acres has a kids playground, ball fields, fishing pond, gazebo and restrooms (currently closed due to Covid-19). It is a pleasant public space designed for family use. On this beautiful Sunday in June it was quiet. Parents with young children were primarily at the playground, while kids old enough to handle a fishing rod were practicing their casting into the pond. Teenagers were seen farther out along the trails congregating in small groups. To each his own. We walked along the paved pathway over Pine Run Creek to be able to reach Old Ironhill Road and the northern approach to the covered bridge. There was some traffic, so we waited until it was clear and safe to walk through the hemlock and pine span to to the end. From there, we walked along Pine Run a bit to see what flora and fauna it had to offer. Didn't see much, but the gurgling stream was relaxing. Completing the circuit, we strolled back into the center of the park where the car was parked. Our plan was to go next to Peace Valley Park, but when we arrived it was so crowded we decided not to stop because it would have been impossible to maintain safe social distancing, and so many there were not wearing masks. Just not worth the risk.
