I moved to Philadelphia (Center City) a year ago with my dog Cisco. I work for the National Park Service and have the utmost respect and appreciation for public lands. Cisco and I frequent FDR park several times a week. While there, she romps about the meadows and sniffs all the good nature smells and I enjoy the quiet and wooded time away from the city. We also encounter groups of students on discovery walks, bikers and skiers, people hard at work on the trails or surveying plants, and a lot of folks with their dogs like Cisco and I. The value of these outdoor spaces is immeasurable and I love that it's a part of Philadelphia's character. I hope that I'll continue to experience these places as is for years to come.
