Must-Visit Hiking Park Near Philadelphia's University City!

This is a very nice beautiful creek, but it's just a shame that it is not always kept up as well as it should be. There are rules to keep the creek nice but it doesn't seem like they are enforced, so why even have rules then? For example, my boyfriend and I saw a good amount of people literally swimming in the creek today. We've also seen trash on the ground in places and sometimes glass bottles intact or broken (maybe could be alcohol?). We both love nature and respect it, it's just sad to see it treated this way since we've liked to fish here. I took pictures of the sign and circled the rules. It's been more than once too that I've seen a few of these broken.

There are so many different sports in this park to choose from- the scenery can vary so much. Such a great and beloved neighborhood go to spot. It’s always helpful to have someone that knows their way around. This area is a great dog and kid friendly area to explore!! Dogs can even cool off and take a little dip in the water at the dog beach area.

This is a spectacular park, the nicest thing about Philadelphia. There is plenty of history here and it is very scenic. The paths on the upper level are wonderful and it is hard to think you are in a major city. This is a great place to go hiking and running, even fishing. Parking is...
