Easy walking with some challenges attached in case you're looking for it but it is generally clean & tended to.

It's worth of it.

Lovely trail that's easily accessible throughout the Philly area, and it goes quite a long way…read more We've usually picked it up around the Conshohocken train station and bike either east toward Manayunk or west toward King of Prussia. Manayunk is a great bike-friendly area with plenty of spots to lock up the bike, whereas going west is scenic and great for just biking around. On the way west, one thing to watch out for is the sewage treatment plant as you approach Norristown - it stinks, especially in the summer! Beyond that point, though, there are beautiful views of the river as you continue on toward Valley Forge. Also on the way there, you pass by Port Indian, a charming little community that I don't know much about. Then, you can bike into Valley Forge or keep going to explore more. One of my favorite places to bike in the Philly area!

I was nervous to go in the streets in the beginning, but once I got my confidence I was enjoying the tour as well as the ease the we went through the neighborhoods! The tour was great and I am now hooked on Segways..I will be exploring Segway Tours when I travel in other cities or countries! Great job Philly Tour Hub!

This is my first season playing Major League Bocce (MLB) and it will be my last. I've played 10+…read moreseasons of Philadelphia Sports Network (PSN), so this isn't my first Philly team based sport. The first week was a sh*tshow. At the last minute they switced the times you were supposed to play. It started raining hard at about 5:30 and they sent out an email that the rain was going to pass (I understand they can't predict the weather). It rained even harder for the first game which was at 6:30pm, they had the game anyways, but cancelled the 7:30pm game. No one really showed up, so a bunch of teams got forfeits (mine included). Their excuse was that they didn't want to reschedule because the last game of the season is right before Thanksgiving. It's fall, it rains alot, perhaps give your season a buffer. I played a season of PSN where 4 of our 6 games were cancelled due to rain, we wound up playing all the way up until Christmas. Rain in fall isn't something new. Then for whatever reason the bar (New Wave) that was supposed to be partnered with MLB wasn't aware that we were playing and didn't have drink specials. New Wave was also a partner with PSN with no issues, so I'm going to guess MLB dropped the ball. Fast forward another week to our 2nd week and since most of us were not there the first week, we didn't have shirts. So being a captain you would go up to the MLB employees (in black shirts) and ask them for the shirts. You would of thought we asked this guy for a million dollars. He comes back with this dickhead attitude of "yea, you and everyone else wants a shirt". Then was just generally a dick the entire night (don't know his name, was working on 10/8/15, heavier of the two guys that have beards). I'm guessing he was just tired of being asked that question, but hey, guess what? The first week was a monsoon and you're not providing any information so people are going to ask. Perhaps you need to find a different job not interacting with people. Long story short is MLB needs to get their crap together. It's disorganized and aggravating, which is the opposite of what you want for beer and bocce.

None of the courts had any major scratches, no cracks and the seem to have been recently re-surfaced. The nets are also in great condition. While I did bring balls to play with, the park has a nicely sized stash of balls by the court for guests to use. Also, if you want to play tennis, but are by yourself this is a really nicely place to stop off at as they have a wall to hit against. When my friend was in the bathroom, I tried it out. While it wasn't great, it served its purpose. General Wayne Park also has a nicely sized playground with swings, slides, monkey bars and more! There is also a nicely sized basketball court! Around the park is a walking trail, which seemed to be very popular. Plenty of people were on the trail taking a jog, a leisurely walk or taking their dog for a walk! Altogether, General Wayne Park is great as it has a fantastic playground and of course three great tennis courts!

The park includes 3 tennis courts, basketball court, playground area for smaller children, slides, swing sets and monkey bars. There are numerous benches to relax and a trail on the perimeter of the park.

What makes a park get 5 stars..A INDOOR BATHROOM! (Clap clap)

I appreciate that they put the care and safety of their animals first. We visited on a very hot spring day and they were limiting exposure to guests to keep the animals as comfortable as possible. They're not open to the public most days, but there are plenty of opportunities through their many programs. We happened to go on a Family Farmyard day, my suggestion would be to check their website for details. They also sell pants for gardens on occasion. There is a daycare onsite that does help take care of the plants and animals as part of their programming which is a very innovative way to get back to our roots as humans. I'd love for someone to do a long term study on allergies of students that attend here because I would bet money that they are affected at a vastly lower rate compared to their peers at other day cares.

I started as many do with her mount airy learning tree course which offers you the opportunity to try the sport with very little investment. This is a love it or hate it sport, so i was grateful to get the chance to try something new without having to spend a ton of $$$$. Needless to say the sport won me over and I decided to join the club as a member. I have been Rowing with BLJ for over five years now and I don't see an end in sight.

I've been rowing with Brannon since 2018. I've lived in Philly for 15 years and had always wondered…read morehow to start rowing without any experience. I found Brannon through Mount Airy Learning Tree and signed up for a learn-to-row class. I had such an amazing time and fell in love with both the sport and the community! Brannon teaches you the basics, then works with you to figure out your own personal goals, whether it's fitness, racing, or just getting out in the water. Now that she has her studio in East Falls, it's easy to stay in shape year round. The most impressive thing about the program is her dedication to community outreach. She works with a number of local schools and programs to offer opportunities for kids to be exposed to a sport that otherwise might have too many barriers to entry. Many of her coaching staff are former students of hers that have grown with the program and become excellent rowers and coaches themselves. I assumed that once the Mount Airy classes were done I'd have gotten rowing out of my system, but here we are 5+ years later, and I'm hooked!

I won't say the Azalea Gardens' Park's on Tap has everything. However, it checks more than just the minimums in my mind. Even prices aren't truly outrageous and at least we know they go to a good cause. The check-in process can be a bit of a hassle (vs just walking in). Limited seating can be an issue on busy days. And unfortunately, being outdoor by definition exposes you to risk of bad weather. Even all those together I didn't see a reason to dock major points. Overall, worth a trip or two (imo).
