Guided Bike Tour of East Fairmount Park

Join Fairmount Park Conservancy and experienced bike tour guide Graham Robb on an eight-mile, all-levels bike ride of East Fairmount Park.

The guided bike ride will highlight the history, hidden gems, and stories of interesting places in East Fairmount Park. Stops include the birthplace of the park at Lemon Hill Mansion, Sedgeley Porter’s House — a little-known or seen house that is the first Gothic Revival building in the US, Hatfield House, John Coltrane’s House, the Discovery Center, Smith Playhouse, as well as many of the park’s beautiful colonial-era mansions. Graham is a great storyteller who will share many perspectives on our park’s past, present, and future.
