Is there a track to run

Serene Harvey | Sep 25, 2018
Jeff G | Sep 25, 2018

There are no tracks that are like ovals at a school athletic field that I know of however, there are plenty of paths, trails, and routes to run. The most ubiquitous is the MLK Drive / Kelly Drive loop. It's a little over 8 Miles and well-lit, populated, and accessorized. There's also recently constructed Schuylkill Banks which Spurs off of Kelly Drive and takes you Riverside through the edge of downtown Philadelphia. Cobbs Creek Park is also very nice.

Angela Wiltbanks | Sep 24, 2020
Ben Flexner | Sep 24, 2020

There is not a "fish" that walks on land in the ponds in the park. There are salamanders and frogs in the pond, which are amphibians, and can live in both the water and on land.
