Frick Park

Disclaimer: Right off the bat, I visited the park as a tourist, a 40 year old man that has loved Mac Miller's work for over 15 years now. That said can I speak on how great a playground it is? How much your kids will enjoy it? How well kept it is? No. It was an early snowy weekend morning in December when I visited with my fiancé and a buddy just to see the famous Blue Slide of Frick Park that Mac made so Infamous amongst his fans. There were discarded cardboard boxed strewn about from people going down the slide and snow in the earliest stages of accumulating on the ground, but I was just happy to see it in person. It honestly looked like a much nicer playground than any in any of the areas of Philly I grew up in, and the area looked very nice from an outsider. Yes, yes I got on someone's old cardboard and went down the slide in the snow at 40 years old, with my fiancé filming and proclaiming I was gonna bust my ass (I didn't). I had to do it. Zero regrets. I'm sure the tourist traffic here is way heavier since Mac's untimely passing, but I hope the locals still get to enjoy their park all the same without too many of us bugging them.

The tour of the mansion definitely made history come alive. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and provided us with historical facts with such details that I felt like we traveled back in time and really gave me a deepened appreciation of what I am looking at. Also the car and carriage museum is free! Take the time to read the signs! There is also an old classic car you can sit and take pictures in. Unfortunately the museum was closed when we visited. The grounds itself is free and beautiful. Definitely put this on your list and plan for few hours here!

Very large. Many different trails. Quiet and peaceful. Has public bathrooms. It’s very clean also. I had a great experience. Also had picnic benches.

Had a great time volunteering here for a week. The staff are very friendly and made me feel comfortable. The wildlife here is amazing, this raccoon decided to take a nap in the trash cans

Lots of easy walking/running trails. Very pet friendly and fun areas along the way for kids.
