Completing, expanding, and connecting watershed parks and trails across the city.
Philadelphia’s trail network is an important part of our transportation system. Trails are used by people walking, rolling, or using low-speed assisted devices. Our trails provide people of all ages and abilities with options for safe travel, recreation, and exercise.
The Philadelphia Trail Plan was completed in 2013 as a recommendation of the City's comprehensive plan. City planners have constructed over 30 miles of trails since the plan was published. Over 20 miles of new trails are under construction or in planning right now.
