Roslyn Park

Roslyn Park is a small but well-kept neighborhood park in Abington Township that works well for short easy runs, walking loops, recovery miles, and casual outdoor workouts. The park features a paved walking path loop around athletic fields and Sandy Run, offering a flat and beginner-friendly route that’s especially convenient for local residents looking to get in quick mileage without dealing with traffic or crowded trails. While the main loop is short — roughly a half mile to three-quarters of a mile depending on the route you take — it’s easy to stack multiple laps for workouts, intervals, or stroller runs. The park also includes basketball courts, ball fields, playgrounds, and a skatepark, giving it an active community atmosphere throughout the day and evening. Great flat loop for tempo runs and repeat workouts.

Forbidden Drive

Classic out-and-back gravel trail through the heart of Philadelphia’s Wissahickon Valley Park following Wissahickon Creek for miles of shaded running with constant water views. Forbidden Drive is one of Philly’s most iconic running routes — wide, mostly flat, and closed to vehicle traffic, making it ideal for easy miles, long runs, recovery days, and marathon training alike. Along the route you’ll pass historic bridges, dense forest, and landmarks like Valley Green Inn, with plenty of opportunities to branch off onto more technical singletrack trails if you want extra elevation or terrain. The crushed gravel surface is soft on the legs and the scenery changes beautifully throughout the seasons.
