Wag! Walkers know Abbotsford
Abbotsford is a small community of row houses and apartments located right next to the Queen Lake Reservoir. There
are multiple restaurants in the area serving up a variety of tasty foods. Although
the nearest parks are a bit of drive, with a choice between Fairmount Park and
Wissahickon Valley Park, you have plenty of places to go walking with Fido. Pet
supply stores are within driving distance as the area sits next to several large
retail and commercial business complexes.
The weather in Philly offers four complete
seasons to enjoy. Spring and fall are the perfect time of year to go walking
with Fido as the temperature are quite mild. Winters can be pretty rough with
temperatures well below freezing for weeks at a time and plenty of snow to traipse
through. Summers offer the other end of the spectrum with highs in the upper 80s
to low 90s and long days of seemingly endless sunshine.
What is the terrain like in Abbotsford?
The terrain in the Abbotsford area is mostly flat and unexciting.
But you can make the most out of the ground you have to work with. If you want to get in plenty of exercise with Fido, you just have to be creative. Instead of walking around
the same block every time the two of you go out for your daily walks, choose different
blocks to go around. Take Fido for a walk
around the reservoir as there is a path running around it for you to make use of.
One
thing to keep in mind is that, during the summer
months, paved surfaces tend to heat up. In the
middle of the afternoon during July and August,
these surfaces can quickly become hot enough to cause discomfort to sensitive puppy paws. Plan your walks for the early mornings to avoid any burns or injury or consider purchasing doggy boots or shoes for protection.
How many greenways are there in Abbotsford?
Beyond the grass around the reservoir and Abbotsford homes,
there isn't much in the way of green in the area. Well, unless you
don't mind the short drive to either Wissahickon Valley Park or Fairmount Park.
Wissahickon Valley Park covers 1,800 acres running along the Wissahickon Creek
and through the Wissahickon Gorge. The creek drops over 100 feet of elevation on
its way to merging with the Schuylkill River. There are miles of trails running
through the park and along the creek for
you to explore.
Fairmount Park is the former home of the 1876 Centennial
Exposition celebrating our Nation's 100th birthday. The park sits on over 340 acres
and includes a 146-acre golf course, three fishing ponds, and plenty grass and
trails to enjoy. Don't forget to pack a picnic for the family and bring your
fishing gear. You never know what you might
catch in the water!
