Explore the pocket parks of Germantown Avenue with Feet First Philly and the Mount Airy Business Improvement District.

The City of Philadelphia’s Comprehensive Plan, Philadelphia 2035, set a bold vision that all residents will live within a 10-minute walk of a neighborhood park or recreation area. The Mt. Airy Business Improvement District is proud to have contributed to this goal by building six pocket parks along the Germantown Avenue commercial corridor.
We’ll meet at High Point Cafe, located at SEPTA’s Allen Lane Station (arrive early to grab coffee). From there, we will walk along the historic Germantown Avenue, where we will visit each pocket park and the sites of future pedestrian improvements.
This walk is almost 2 miles one-way. When the walk is over, join Feet First Philly at Zsa’s Ice Cream (6616 Germantown Ave.).
You can return to Allen Lane Station by walking back along Germantown Ave. or riding the Route 23 bus. The SEPTA’s Carpenter Regional Rail Station is .5 miles from Zsa’s Ice Cream.
For Feet First Philly walks, we follow the City of Philadelphia’s mask guidelines.
