Come to the Meadows

Discover the magic of the FDR Meadows — South Philly’s largest wild space and urban refuge. Explore 100 acres of woodlands, meadows, and waterways teeming with life!

Enter FDR Park at 20th St & Pattison, then take a right onto the ring road at the lake. The first parking lot on the right (after 0.4 miles) is for the tennis and pickleball courts (map link). The trail starts to the right of the tennis and pickleball courts. Continue walking, keeping the fenced-off wetland to your left, and you’ll enter the Meadows.
