Coach Todd P. • February 2, 2014A great place to cross-train on some trails via a hike, climb, run, walk, mountain bike... is at Philly's Fairmount Park, the Park covers (4,180 acres), and is the largest landscaped park in the U.S.

Enrico • July 24, 2016This place is a hidden gem in Philadelphia. Entry is $8/$5. In spring and in fall it can be cool to go there, sit down in the garden and relax. In the summer it can be a bit too hot inside (No AC)

K12 Inc • June 16, 2011Did you know? The huge 24,000 sq. foot playhouse was built in 1899, expressly as a play space for young children – it was never a residence. The unique Giant Wooden Slide was added in 1905.
