Enjoying Summer around Philadelphia

I admit and apologize that I've been slaaaacking with my blog posts. Being a new mom, working during a fierce real estate market and my non-profit obligations are just a few of my excuses. By far my favorite excuse is enjoying motherhood. This life change has given me the opportunity to enjoy the Philadelphia region on a new level. One thing I love doing is taking Madison for walks in various parks around Philadelphia. So here are a few I think you should check out!

1. Upper Merion Farmers Market is every Saturday until mid November. It's located at the old township building and has a wonderful park to walk around after you pick up some locally sourced goodies. What I especially liked about the play ground area is that it's shaded and has turtles!

2. Sutcliffe park is a convenient spot for walking and enjoying the playground within Conshohocken. There is a covered picnic area and enough to see and enjoy for my 8 month old.

Mary H Wood park is finally opened and looking forward to visiting later this week!

3. Kelly Drive has always been a favorite of mine. Now I get to enjoy a flat running path with my daughter in her jogger stroller. We don't get there as much as I'd like, but I try to stop when I'm on my way in or out of the city.

4. Wentz Run Park is a place I've driven by for years and for some reason never visited- until recently! What a gem! A good size playground that has shade, volleyball, baseball fields, basketball court and a great walking path. I highly recommend meeting up with a friend and going for a stroller walk here.

Where have you visited? I'd love to hear your recommendations and get some new ideas to take Madison.
