First time here. It was fun, lots of shade and kids enjoyed themselves. Restrooms could’ve been maintained better. We came for a picnic so didn’t see the full park. Lots of dogs running around. However no safety issues but if you or your kids don’t like dogs.. this will not be the park for you. Also no playground.

It's arguably my favorite spot in Philly. Just a great area to enjoy the outdoors with your four legged friends. This is where I trained my dogs to be off leash outside. Just be respectful of your surroundings and aware that not everyone wants to say hi to your furry friend

I parked at this parking lot and went hiking on the Orange Trail of Wissahickon Valley. It’s very well marked and the trail on this side is mostly shady thru woods, while on the other side of the river is mostly a paved road.
It’s exciting to hike thru terrains, muddy areas , steep trails, cross a creek bed, explore under highway bridges and see the interesting graffitis.
Comparing from the flat lands in my area, I prefer trails with elevation on the mountains in PA.

Always clean and well kept. In addition to having nice trails that connect to Forbidden Drive, Blue Bell acts as a makeshift dog park. Delightful.

Blue Bell Park is a clean park with minimal facilities, access to Wissahickon Park hiking trails and parking. On both of our trips to Blue Bell we were only using it for it's parking and access to hiking. The park is large and clean and blends into Wissahickon at the treeline. There is lots of room for dogs to run around (and they usually are) and once we saw a large company picnic being hosted there. There is no playground however. I've included a couple of pictures from the nearby orange trail.
