Fairmount Park offers greenery and hiking
Maybe the best part of life in Wynnefield Heights, Fairmount Park is practically located in residents’ backyards. The historic greenspace is Philadelphia’s first and largest park, with more than 2,000 acres of land and plenty of hiking trails to take advantage of. “It’s probably the best place in the city to feel like you’re somewhere else farther out,” says Levensten. Family and friends can gather at Belmont Plateau, which features rolling hills, great views, and the perfect spot for a picnic or cookout. Woodside Park offers a smaller slice of greenery, but still features two playgrounds, a basketball court, and a looping walking trail.
The Fairmount Park borders East Parkside, providing green space, music venues, and playgrounds.
Sit amongst the trees with friends and enjoy the early spring weather.

My neighborhood contains mainly elderly people which means it is mostly quiet. I feel safe walking to the grocery and back home without being bothered. I love how there is beauty store close to my house because I can buy hair products any time I want by only walking eleven minutes. I also have a park near my house where I sometimes meet my friend Angela who lives across from me to hang out. And I am pretty close to my bank which is helpful just in case I need to make a quick deposit.
