My unofficial dog park. Great people in a great community. Everyone seems to make an effort to keep this park clean and fun.
Nice, clean cut grass for dogs and kids to play. Cost $23 for 3hrs. Only thing is we had to bring our own grill but it still turned out very nice.
I parked at this parking lot and went hiking on the Orange Trail of Wissahickon Valley. It’s very well marked and the trail on this side is mostly shady thru woods, while on the other side of the river is mostly a paved road.
It’s exciting to hike thru terrains, muddy areas , steep trails, cross a creek bed, explore under highway bridges and see the interesting graffitis.
Comparing from the flat lands in my area, I prefer trails with elevation on the mountains in PA.
Beautiful park. A friend invited folks out to go for a walk and I am so appreciative. The weather was perfect and the scenery amazing, will be back
Blue Bell Park is a clean park with minimal facilities, access to Wissahickon Park hiking trails and parking. On both of our trips to Blue Bell we were only using it for it's parking and access to hiking. The park is large and clean and blends into Wissahickon at the treeline. There is lots of room for dogs to run around (and they usually are) and once we saw a large company picnic being hosted there. There is no playground however. I've included a couple of pictures from the nearby orange trail.
