Wag! Walkers know Ogontz
Ogontz is mainly a residential area made up of the type of row
houses typical of most areas of Philly. There are some areas of single-family
homes on tree-lined streets. The entire community has a nice family-friendly
feel to it, making it a great place for younger families with children and dogs. There are several parks nearby including Wister Wood Park,
Awbury Park, and Wissahickon Valley Park just to the southwest. If you like to
eat out or spend the night out hitting the local bar for a pint of
your favorite beer, you won't find much within the community, but if you like
peace and quiet with good neighbors, then Ogontz is just what you are looking for.
One of the best parts of having good neighbors
is that when the snow flies, you have help keeping the sidewalks clear. In return, you
get to share a summer barbecue as the sun shines down on Philly all summer
long.
What is the terrain like in Ogontz?
There are no great rewards for the terrain here. Beyond a few slightly
rolling hills, there isn't much beyond blocks of sidewalks and single-family
row houses with the occasional corner store. That being said, the community is relatively well-kept and the sidewalks
are wide enough for you to walk along. Many even have grass berms for soft footing. Be a good pet owner
and carry waste bags with you as no one likes berms full of waste!
Walking on
pavement can be hard on your pup's paws from the rough surface that can rub them raw to extremes in temperature ranging from freezing in the winter to scorching
in the summer. The best thing you can do is give your dog's paws plenty of time to
toughen up by starting out with short walks. Consider taking your walks in the early morning in the summer when the pavement
is still cool.
How many greenways are there in Ogontz?
People who live in Ogontz are fortunate in that there are
several greenways and parks within the community. While some are vacant lots that
have been turned in greenways where you can let your pup romp around, the
parks give you shade trees and trails to
walk on.
Kemble Park offers trails for you to enjoy, a basketball court, a playground,
and lots of grass for the two of you to run around on with shade
trees to relax under while your barbecue cooks. This is a very family-friendly
park for everyone.
Harpers Hollow Park on Ogontz Ave. and Kemble Ave. is a wide
swath of shade trees following the curve of W. Grange Ave. Although there are no
facilities here, it's a nice cool place in the summer for you and your pup to play
during the dog days of summer when the temperatures are in the high 80s or low 90s.
