SUMMARY:Footsteps of the First People: Guided Hike + Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Start your day with a peaceful hike and meditation along the Trolley Trail!\n\nDATE\nSaturday\, March 16 \n\n\n\nTIME\n9:30 am – 11:30 am \n\n\n\nLOCATION\nBelmont Plateau \n  \n\n\n\n\nJoin Fairmount Park Conservancy and ecotherapist/Lenape nature healer Krista Nelson for a two-mile guided hike and meditation along the Trolley Trail on Saturday\, March 16 from 9:00-11:30 AM. This hike will help you rekindle your love of nature and find strength and companionship in a community of fellow nature lovers. \nAs a sixth-generation Lenape grandmother\, Krista honors the Lenape tradition of interconnectedness and reverence for nature. A Lenape language keeper\, Krista is working to revitalize this endangered indigenous language and unlock embedded codes to Lenape culture for a people and a planet in dire need of decolonizing hearts and minds. \nAs we hike\, we’ll stop to listen and closely observe the natural surroundings. Our journey will lead us to several small tributary creeks\, where we will meditate alongside the rhythmic sounds of the flowing water. We will add to the sound of the creek with our own spontaneous humming and whistling – a way to show our love for the water. Krista calls this practice of listening to the water and reciprocating with sound “Creek Drinking” (not literally of course!). Finally\, Krista will lead us in a nature element ritual as we celebrate the spring equinox – a time of importance to the Lenape as it welcomes spring and new beginnings. \nThis event will connect you to nature and allow you to tune your breath to the creek’s flow so you can let troublesome thoughts wash away downstream. It will also help you develop a deeper appreciation for the Lenape – the first inhabitants and stewards of these lands. \nEstimated distance: about two miles\nLevel: moderate\nTerrain: mainly hilly trails \nTICKET PRICE: $15 \n**This event is part of our West Park Program Pack – a bundle of three distinct West Park programs offered for a discounted rate. It can be registered for individually (below) or as part of the Program Pack. If interested in registering as part of the pack\, visit this website. Program Pack space is limited. Registration ends February 24 or when spots fill – whichever comes first.** \n\nKNOW BEFORE YOU GO: \n\nThe hike is roughly two miles over mainly hilly trails.\nAppropriate for adults and mature adolescents.\nPlease dress according to weather conditions and wear good hiking shoes (boots/sneakers).\nBring water (drinking water is not available in the park)\, a snack\, and if you would find it helpful\, a small meditation cushion or towel that you can carry with you during the hike.\nUnfortunately\, there are no bathrooms along the hike route so please plan accordingly.\nBring sunscreen and bug spray.\nWe will leave a few minutes after the scheduled start time. Please arrive at the departure location at least five minutes early. We cannot guarantee that latecomers can join after the group has departed.\n\n\nPARKING/GETTING THERE: There is plenty of free parking in the park. As always\, NEVER leave valuables in your car! If traveling by public transit\, the nearest stop is at Belmont Ave and Belmont Mansion/Fairmount Park Drive – a half-mile walk from the start. The closest Indego bike station is at Parkside and Belmont Ave – also a half-mile walk from the start. \n\nQUESTIONS? Please reach out to programs@myphillypark.org

SUMMARY:Relics and Ruins: Weird West Park
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hike to learn about some of Fairmount Park’s historical hidden gems!\n\nDATE\nSaturday\, March 2 \n\n\n\nTIME\n9:00 am – 12:00 pm \n\n\n\nLOCATION\nBelmount Plateau Parking Lot \n1800 Belmont Mansion Drive\nPhiladelphia PA\, 19131 \n\nJoin Fairmount Park Conservancy’s John Sigmund\, Director of Partnerships and Sponsorships and park history enthusiast\, on Saturday\, March 2 from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM for a three-mile guided exploration of the relics and ruins of West Fairmount Park. If you’re fascinated by Philly history and appreciate hidden treasures of the park’s past\, this hike is not to be missed! \nAs one of America’s oldest urban parks\, Fairmount Park has accumulated many layers of history… sometimes literally! A closer exploration of the landscape reveals the ruins of abandoned infrastructure and buildings that go back to the beginnings of the 178-year-old park system\, and sometimes even further. Most of the year\, nature cloaks these hidden treasures in dense growth\, but the bare woods of the winter provide the perfect time to go off the beaten path. \nOn this hike\, we’ll start at Belmont Plateau and touch upon a section of the Trolley Trail. Next\, we’ll find the hidden remnants of the Philadelphia Columbia Railroad rail tracks. Finally\, we’ll explore the ruins of the George’s Hill Reservoir\, taking in one of the most secret and spectacular city views. \nPlease note: These hikes will have some challenging sections that require agility. Since we will occasionally venture off trail\, you are encouraged to wear sturdy hiking boots and rugged outerwear that can withstand scrapes from sharp sticks and branches (please… no fashion or formal wear!:)). \nEstimated distance: about three miles\nLevel: moderate\nTerrain: mainly hilly trails \nINSTRUCTOR BIO: John Sigmund is a multidisciplinary artist\, history lover\, and urban park enthusiast with years of experience as a nonprofit manager and arts educator. Born and raised in Philadelphia\, he spent a decade living in Austin\, San Antonio\, and New York City\, but made a happy homecoming to go back to school at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. John has the proud distinction of actually living in Fairmount Park– he and his partner Jaime are resident caretakers at Lemon Hill Mansion. And although Lemon Hill is his home base\, John is an enthusiastic advocate for all of the historic houses in the park system. \nTICKET PRICE: $15 \n**This event is part of our West Park Program Pack – a bundle of three distinct West Park programs offered for a discounted rate. It can be registered for individually (below) or as part of the Program Pack. If interested in registering as part of the pack\, visit this website. Program Pack space is limited.
