What we do
Trail Maintenance, Restoration , and Establishment
Over the years Friends of Morris Park has worked with many partners and volunteers to define trail paths to make the park easier to traverse with minimal impact on the fauna and wildlife. Today the park offers over 5 miles of contiguous trails. A bird’s eye view of the trails cans be found here.
Large Junk Removal
Remember the burned out cars in Morris Park?
If you lived in the neighborhood ten or more years ago and ventured into the woods, you might remember sights like this abandoned car in the forest.
The Friends of Morris Park worked with Fairmount Parks to pull the cars out of the forest and began the first comprehensive trail system in Morris Park. Most recently by obtaining a grant for new sloping trails to connect the upper and lower trail loops.
