TAKE A HIKE on the Trolley Trail!
May 12 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm
From their event page:
Join Fairmount Park Conservancy’s Kevin Roche on March 17 from 12:30–3:00 PM for a guided hike to learn about the Trolley Trail’s fascinating past and present. The Fairmount Park Trolley operated in East and West Park from 1896-1946, providing a reliable and enjoyable means of accessing park amenities. Explore the physical remains of what is now a hidden trolley network including massive stone tunnels and bridge abutments along this 4-mile loop hike.
More about the Trolley Trail:Fairmount Park Conservancy–along with partners at Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and the Belmont Plateau Trails Alliance–have been working to develop the Trolley Trail, a scenic multi-purpose trail that loosely follows the path of the former Fairmount Park Trolley. New gateways, trail signage, and bike racks were recently added and a ribbon cutting was held in November 2023. Read more here.
