Blue Bell Park

It's arguably my favorite spot in Philly. Just a great area to enjoy the outdoors with your four legged friends. This is where I trained my dogs to be off leash outside. Just be respectful of your surroundings and aware that not everyone wants to say hi to your furry friend

Essentially an off leash dog park during after work hours. Great spot to hit the trails with your dog as this park connects to the Wissahickon. Massive space for dogs to run. Also a lovely park for kids during the weekend when people are less likely to bring off leash dogs. There is also a fire place beneath a lean-to to get warm and cozy during the winter with the family.

Always clean and well kept. In addition to having nice trails that connect to Forbidden Drive, Blue Bell acts as a makeshift dog park. Delightful.

I parked at this parking lot and went hiking on the Orange Trail of Wissahickon Valley. It’s very well marked and the trail on this side is mostly shady thru woods, while on the other side of the river is mostly a paved road.

It’s exciting to hike thru terrains, muddy areas , steep trails, cross a creek bed, explore under highway bridges and see the interesting graffitis.

Comparing from the flat lands in my area, I prefer trails with elevation on the mountains in PA.

Beautiful park. A friend invited folks out to go for a walk and I am so appreciative. The weather was perfect and the scenery amazing, will be back

Nice dog friendly area with open grass fields. Also leads to some nice trails for hiking.

Lovely green spaces for dogs to play. Not officially an "off-leash" park, but people mind their dogs and their manners here. When you want to hike in the Wissahickon woods, they are only a few steps away with fairly clearly marked trails.

Had the pleasure to help a friend out with their reunions for their old neighborhood Tulpehocken Wilson Street .... It was a rainy Saturday afternoon but it turned out to be a wonderful reunion. They had the pavilion area. I would recommend that for anyone who wants to have an event at Blue Bell

Nice, clean cut grass for dogs and kids to play. Cost $23 for 3hrs. Only thing is we had to bring our own grill but it still turned out very nice.

Beautiful little park. Great for letting the dog run off leash.

Great place to bring your dog to play and have interesting conversation with proud pet owners.

This is a small park tucked away In one of the more suburban areas of Philadelphia. There is a large empty field where people train dogs and play with dogs and play with kids and there's also a softball field. There's a pavilion with a fireplace. It's absolutely lovely place to visit in the fall.

great unofficial off leash dog park with access to wissahickon trails. (a park ranger comes for 3 minutes, tells everybody through megaphone to leash dogs. he /she leaves and everybody takes the leash back off. that's how it is there. it's a chill park

This was a really lovely meeting spot for a first date. It was out in the open air, and the park had just the right number of people around for it to feel like a safe location. The parking was good at the time I went, but I'm not sure if that will always be true. It was just a beautiful location for the occasion.

One of my favorite places in the city to go on a short hike and mushroom hunt. I recommend it to anyone looking for some relaxing tree bathing within the city.

My unofficial dog park. Great people in a great community. Everyone seems to make an effort to keep this park clean and fun.

Nature, trails, picnic tables, shelters, and dog friendly.

Pass it 3times🤣, but all &all, had a great time 😃👍. The park is Beautiful 😍, So Very 👍.so clean,. Great place to have a cookout.

Sept 11: it's great except there is a large hornets nest hanging about 8' up from one of the three large trees in the middle of the field

This is a beautiful park! Very well maintained & such a calm & pleasant place to go when you just want to relax & have a little picnic. I will be visiting again...
