About
Join Fairmount Park Conservancy for a guided 4.5-mile hike to learn about the Trolley Trail’s fascinating past and present. The Fairmount Park Trolley operated in East and West Park from 1896 to 1946, providing a reliable and enjoyable means of accessing park amenities. Explore the physical remains of what is now a hidden trolley network, including massive stone tunnels and bridge abutments along this loop hike.
More about the Trolley Trail: Fairmount Park Conservancy, along with partners at Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and the Belmont Plateau Trails Alliance, have been working to develop the Trolley Trail – a scenic multi-purpose trail that loosely follows the path of the former Fairmount Park Trolley. New gateways, trail signage, and bike racks were recently added, and a ribbon-cutting was held in November 2023. Read more here.
TICKET PRICE: $10
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:
PARKING/GETTING THERE: The Trolley Trail entrance is located at the intersection of Belmont Mansion Drive and South Chamounix Drive. There is plenty of free parking available in the park. As always, never leave valuables in your car! If traveling by public transit, the nearest stop is at Ford and Cranston Road – a one-mile walk from the start. The nearest Indego bike station is at MLK Drive and Strawberry Mansion Bridge – also about one mile away.
