SUMMARY:Relics and Ruins: East Park
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hike to learn about some of Fairmount Park’s historical hidden gems!\n\nDATE\nSaturday\, March 15 \n\n\n\nTIME\n9:00 am – 12:00 pm \n\n\n\nLOCATION\nWoodford Mansion \n  \n\n\n\nJoin Fairmount Park Conservancy’s John Sigmund\, Director of Partnerships and Sponsorships and park history enthusiast\, for a three-mile guided hike to explore the relics and ruins of Fairmount Park. \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 occasionally\, 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. \nIf you’re fascinated by Philly history and discovering hidden treasures of park past\, this hike is not to be missed! \nThis is the event page for the March 15 East Park hike; however\, there will also be a West Park hike on March 29 (more info here). Sign up for one date or for both! \nPlease note\, this hike 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 \nMarch 15: Relics & Ruins\, East Park\nSome haunting historic highlights on this tour include: the smallest surviving structure designed by Frank Furness\, two forgotten spring heads and a spooky springhouse popular in neighborhood lore\, a WPA built bathroom\, and the hidden ruins of a colonial-era mansion that burnt down 36 years ago. Meet at Woodford Mansion. \nTICKET PRICE: $15 \n\n\nKNOW BEFORE YOU GO: \n\nOn the ticketing page\, you can sign up for one event or for both.\nThis hike is roughly three miles over mainly hilly trails.\nAppropriate for adults and mature adolescents (minors must be ticketed and accompanied by a guardian).\nPlease dress according to weather conditions and wear good hiking shoes (boots/sneakers).\nBring water (drinking water is not available in the park) and a snack.\nUnfortunately\, there are no bathrooms along the hike route so please plan accordingly.\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: We will meet at Woodford Mansion. There is plenty of free parking available nearby.
