great place to run. make sure to look both ways before a train runs you over on your way over there if starting at the south end though!

Brian Rost

be warned about the trash train , it is unbearable to walk along the trail south of Eakin's Oval when it is stationed along the trail . PEEEUUUUU

Museum Without Walls

North of the Girard Avenue Bridge you will find ‘Playing Angels’ by Carl Milles . These angels overlook the Schuylkill, but they were cast from originals that overlook Stockholm’s harbor .

Nick Collins

If a train in blocking the entrance to the park at 25th and Locust, you can access the trail via Walnut St. Just go up a block to 24th and head north.

The ideal weekend runners route since the road is closed to automobiles Saturdays and Sundays April through October. Many different trails are located along central route with mileage markers.

Most people go in the evening, but it's a great early morning option with a fair amount of shade from center city buildings. Read more

Leave the narrow path to the runners : for a less crowded bike ride , try Valley Green along the Wissahickon!

Great place to run without getting hit by cars. You can do hundreds of the 7 mile loop...
