Regular  287   Levittown, PA |  Subject: SRT parking in philadelphiahey guys, I've been on the trail once before but I met a buddy at Valley Forge and started from there. I was wondering where the best place is to park if I wanted to start at the Philly end of the trail. I know that it starts somewhere near the Art Museum but I am not completely familiar with the area down there. Where would be the most ideal place to park? Thanks in advance |

Also, there's parking by boat house row, which is also right there. And plenty of street parking (though you may need to pay depending on the street) in Fairmount. |

I live in Fairmount, 3 blocks from the Art Museum. Not sure I would say there is plenty of street parking. When there's an event going, there's absolutely zero. Also, unless you have a residential permit, pretty much everywhere is two hour parking. Best bets are the lot next to Lloyd Hall and across the street on Pennsylvania Avenue. |

If you look online you can always find discount coupons to local garages. |

Regular 287 Levittown, PA | Subject: RE: SRT parking in philadelphia Sorry to hear about your spill. Hopefully it's not that bad. yes, I was out there. absolutely loved the trail. Did 47 miles. Instead of parking near the art museum, I checked google maps and found a good spot. I ended up parking off of Umbria St right near the begining of the SRT near main st. There is a train station stop that has a big parking lot on Umbria st and its about 1 mile from the start of the actual SRT. Worked out great. I can definitely see myself riding that trail more and more. Its worth the ~30 min drive down there. Love it. |
