A decent park for a city. Trail isn’t the most well-maintained during this time of year. Lots of garbage. The water isn’t very clean and even has advisories to not go in. Overall, it’s an okay trail. There are cool flowers at least.

A Beautiful place to walk and chill out with the neighbors. I like visiting parks & creeks. Philadelphia has a lot of green spaces. We do things right in our Beloved City ♥️ Shalom ✝️ Maranatha ✡️ Yeshua ✝️

Great place to go riding just have to be careful with the people walking and riding pedal bikes

This is an okay park. However, the trails run through busy streets. Considering how dangerous it is to be a pedestrian in America, I’d prefer to not have my hiking or walking interfered with by cars and intersections.

If you like nature and all that it has to offer this might be the place for you. The park has a paved walkway which makes walking and biking easier. There are many places to sit and think or watch animals. I suggest that you stay out of the water though. It’s really not a swimming spot. It’s better maintained and feels safer than before.

Love it, feels a little sketchy but great length from tip to tip 3 miles ish and almost entirely shaded with lots of cool tunnels and bridges. Warning feels very isolated, and many people ride dirt bikes and quads so it can be dangerous peak season

It’s a nice place for a walk and certain areas are clean enough for a dip. Depending on which part of the park you go it changes my personal opinion due to cleanliness but overall it’s a great place to forget your in the city!

It's not too bad... The park is amazing but my son was on the juniata Park area and was playing and almost picked up a needle, God almighty that was bad... A lot of people and music and no grills allowed, some ghetto-ness going on idk but I had a decent time the kids had a blast hood spot to picnic or let the kids run around and play
