DESCRIPTION:Learn about the history and hidden gems of East Fairmount Park on this guided bike tour.\n\nDATE\nSunday\, May 18 \n\n\n\nTIME\n9:30 am – 12:30 pm \n\n\n\nLOCATION\nLloyd Hall \n1 Boathouse Row\nPhiladelphia PA 19130 \n\n\n\nJoin Fairmount Park Conservancy and experienced bike tour guide Graham Robb on an eight-mile\, all-levels bike ride of East Fairmount Park on Sunday\, May 18 from 9:30 AM-12:30 PM. \nThe guided bike ride will highlight the history\, hidden gems\, and stories of interesting places in East Fairmount Park.
