Pennypack on the Delaware
Relax by the water at the gazebo and the grass pier, then take a hike through the woods where the Pennypack Creek flows into the Delaware River. ou can access the Pennypack Trail and over 9 miles of paved greenway.
The Rail Park
The Rail Park is a quarter mile green space created along the former Reading Viaduct near Broad Street and Callowhill Street. Walk to the top and relax on oversized swinging benches with your Valentine while you enjoy great views of the skyline and nearby murals.
Schuylkill Center
If long bike rides and hiking are you and your partner's idea of a fun Valentine, then GoPhillyGo has you covered. Bike to the Schuylkill Center along the Schuylkill River Trail (SRT) and explore miles of trails through forests, meadows, and hillsides. Look for the red sign and bike rack at the SRT gateway, then climb up the hillside overlooking the river to access the Center’s trail network.
