Elisha week 3



I learned that to get to the park it is actually very easy and that the park is kind of small for both walkers and bikers. The park could have been bigger and atleast have one or two benches. I would have liked to learn more about how the park looked before and how the park is used towards people.

Waterfront and park management
Throughout the two days of visiting the wissahickon Park, week three I learned more on the second day visiting because there was more walking and we had to take notes. The 1,800 acres of Wissahickon Valley Park are part of Philadelphia’s 9,200-acre Fairmount Park, one of the largest city parks in the world. The wissahickon Park is very famous and a lot of people are involved with the park, those people are known as friends to the park. The mission of the friends of the wissahickon is to preserve the natural beauty and wildness of the wissahickon valley and stimulate public interest there in the park. The history of the park is very interesting to those who find nature to be beautiful even to those who are not big fans of the park.
