Fairmount Park

Fairmount Park feels like a breath of fresh air in the middle of the city. The wide trails, tall trees, and river views make it easy to relax or stay active. It’s great for walking, biking, picnics, or just sitting and clearing your head. The park is well maintained and full of history, yet it still feels welcoming and peaceful. A perfect spot to escape city noise without leaving town.

One of Philly’s largest green spaces. The August 9, 2025 Old School Greek Picnic was held in Fairmount Park, 33rd and Diamond Streets, Philadelphia PA; this annual event drew hundreds of Black professionals, members of the Divine 9 African American Fraternities and Sororities.

Beautiful and stunning a must see when in the area. Closed because of government shutdown but was worth the walk from Capitol.

Such a beautiful place to watch all the crew competitions and Boat House Row is always a gorgeous picture!

Great visit to the children's playground. The great wooden slide built in the 1890s was the hit, but the other playground features were creative and fun too.
