Delaware County has cut the ribbon on improvements to the Chester Creek Trailhead on Knowlton Road in Media. The project is highlighted by expanded parking and improved drainage infrastructure, including the addition of handicapped parking spaces.
A portion of the Wetland Loop Trail and part of the parking lot at the main entrance to the John Heinz Wildlife Refuge on Lindbergh Boulevard have been closed for 12 months to repair damage to the trail and the dike caused by Tropical Storm Isaias in 2020.
Two new walking trails have opened this spring in Delaware County and a 7.2 mile “cycling corridor” along Chester Pike will be opened May 30 to add to the county’s inventory of opportunities to get out of our cars and into the great outdoors.
Delaware County has unveiled its much-anticipated plan to turn a tract once owned by the Philadelphia Archdiocese into the 213-acre Delco Woods, the newest, biggest park owned by the county.
