Written By Miranda Martin

Spring has sprung in Philadelphia, and though I’ve been busy working on some exciting new content for you all, I’ve been finding more time to get outside and enjoy the sunshine with my family and friends. Here is a quick-tip guide to some of the best outdoor ideas for (free!) fun in Philly—

Free, outdoor fun in Philadelphia

Parks to picnic in (BYOB and BYO-food from home, and enjoy the free space all around in these parks):

  • Fairmount Park (by the water or near the Art Museum, even better!)

  • Wissahickon Park (enter near the trail entrance off of Main Street in Manayunk)

  • Washington Square Park (Old City quiet time with gorgeous trees and fountains to enjoy)

  • Rittenhouse Square (especially on Farmer’s Market days— buy the fresh fruit and stay to picnic!)

Trails to hike:

  • Wissahickon (any trail in this area is great!)

  • MLK Drive (still closed to cars, you can walk all the way from Manayunk to the Art Museum and make a whole day of it)

What are your favorite, free outdoor activities in Philly? Let’s discuss, and enjoy the sunshine.


Xoxo, MM.
