The Cresheim Trail Project

The Cresheim Trail Project is a non-profit, volunteer, community inititative focused on binding the Cresheim Valley (in the Wissahickon Woods) in Fairmount Park Philadelphia with neighborhoods long separated from the park through the progress of development, county boundaries, roads and the ebb and flow of the region. This website is for the purpose of disseminating information about this exciting project, and to help gather community support, as well as reporting to the communities of Philadelphia and Montgomery County why this project would be so beneficial. As events progress we will post ongoing updates on this page about new developments on The Cresheim Trail Project.

Walk the Cresheim Train

• Are you curious to learn how trails can help build community?
• Would you like more active transportation and recreational facilities close to home?
• Did you know there could be a trail right in your neighborhood?
• Did you ever wonder about the bridge over Germantown Avenue?

Put on your hiking boots and come for a walk and talk about the Cresheim Trail. See how it fits into the existing fabric of the neighborhood, providing you and your family and friends access to an 8-mile trail that will connect to other regional trails.
