Growning up in this city, I must say that the past 30 years I've seen a complete turn around inside Fairmount Park, that everyone should come back, even the deers came back. I wasn't the outdoorsman until last year when I decided to take the 8 mile walk and run path up Kelly Dr, and back down MLK Dr alongside the river banks, is when I seen the park for what it's worth. Take a day and go through the trails, see the wildlife and enjoy the bike paths. This park shouldn't be a secret anylonger...
Pros: Fresh air, sernery, location
Cons: Canadian Geese, bathroom

I run in Fairmount Park and I have to say its so beautiful and big you don't feel like you are in the the middle of a major city.
Pros: very open, great wildlife, large paths
Cons: iffy bathrooms

As an avid History Channel viewer, I was dismayed when they had a segment on great parks and our jewel, Fairmount Park, was not mentioned. Central Park, Griffith Park, and Candlestick Park can all fit inside Fairmount Park with room to spare! There is no reason to keep this park system a secret, the world should know about this valuable asset to our great city!
Pros: scenery, size, accessories
Cons: not promoted
