"Stunning visit in the snow. Great place if you love old gravesites."
"A peaceful, safe, and relatively quiet place to walk, run, picnic, enjoy nature, and contemplate mortality in West Philly, close to University City. Free parking along the cemetery's road (but drive slowly and watch for pedestrians) and there is a water fountain by the POP orchard."
"Arboretum style historic cemetery in West Philadelphia that's the final resting place for many famous local figures. One of the stone buildings was the residence of a Hamilton (not Alexander). You will see families strolling the grounds. You can download a map from the Woodlands' website, but it is a challenge to locate specific graves.Markers are tricky to find and the oldest part has a spiral grave layout. The author Elizabeth Gilbert used Woodlands as the inspiration for a novel. It is dog-friendly and not a far walk from Clark Park."
"It is serene, beautiful and restorative. Walking through the cemetery grounds is a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Remember, there are still others enjoying the property. Please continue to wear your face masks."
"Such a beautiful, quiet spot in West Philly. Good for walking and running. They often hold events, too. The grounds are well taken care of."
