I spend a lot time here with my best friends. The reservoir is a nature spot right in the middle of Roxborough. It is kept by volunteers it's a beautiful spot to walk the dogs take a run checkout the view of the Centre City Skyline. Early mornings are great but not to early if you are walking a pet. There are sometimes wildlife close by. I would not recommend going alone. Not that it is not safe but these days things happen everywhere. You are off the main road and you never know what kind of wildlife you might encounter.
A calm, pretty location to take a short walk. There's no intense hiking involved, just a paved circle that curves around the fenced-off reservoir, but it's always full of a beautiful variety of birds and other critters, and even occasionally a deer or two. My favorite feature is the picnic table about halfway through the loop, which offers an amazing view of the Philly skyline.
Nice place to walk and take in nature. The area is clean and safe to stroll,see God's hand at work.
Nice place to take a short walk in the community!
Walkie lokie ???????? recommend it for walking and jogging
Found near Roxborough in woods by shawmont Ave, going for scan. Anyone know who he is? I saw a number of birds this morning at the reservoir that were the first I've seen this fall, e.g. Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Broad-winged Hawk, and Scarlet Tanager, all pictured here.
