Dog walking in Yeadon

Right across the border from Yeadon, Kingsessing is a vibrant university adjacent neighborhood. Check out Cobbs Creek Park if you like a lot of room to roam, wooded paths, and access to Cobbs Creek! This large park has more to it than you can explore in just one trip, so swing by multiple times during your Yeadon stay to get the full experience.

Two minutes from Yeadon is the even smaller community of Darby. They prove good things come in small packages with Bartram Park. This compact park balances the needs of the community that uses it. A large portion of the park is set aside for sports fields. There’s also a basketball court on the premises. A smaller but significant portion of the park is a playground, with a grassy picnic area rounding out the park.

South Lansdowne

Sycamore Park is just two minutes from the border of Yeadon, in the South Lansdowne neighborhood of Lansdowne. This park is a small, simple space. It takes its name from the 300+ year old sycamore tree in the center! This bit of local history is a popular spot. If you’re looking for a larger space, Hays Park on the other side of the neighborhood is perfect. This open space has several sports fields and a small playground pawfect for family gatherings. Set up lunch on the picnic tables! You can also walk your dog around the perimeter of the park.

Elmwood

Connell Park is a seven minute drive from Yeadon. This pupular spot is a gathering spot for dog walkers. Though you have to keep your pup on leash in the park, the availability of doggie companionship makes this a local hotspot. If you’re looking to please your dog and your children, head to Paschall Playground. This area is mostly playground, with swings, slides, and climbing equipment! The 63rd and Lindbergh Park rounds out this trio of Elmwood park locations. While it has a healthy playground, many people come to jog on its paved walking paths.Keep reading

Angora

Four minutes from Yeadon is the Philadelphia neighborhood of Angora. While Christy Park in Angora has an indoor sports center that’s the talk of the neighborhood, it’s the outside that will please your pup. Leash up your dog and walk around the exterior areas of the park. There’s a baseball diamond and a small picnic area where you and your dog can rest up after a brisk walk! Sherwood Park is another option. It also has an inside recreation area that is off limits to dogs, but a larger exterior park. Skirt the basketball courts and hit the trail to exercise your dog in Sherwood Park.
