Jockey Hollow is a beautiful park. You can drive through on the tour road or park and walk some trails. It’s so peaceful and quiet here and a perfect place to walk in the outdoors.

COVID-19 has opened my eyes wider to see the beauty in things I’ve taken for granted, even the walks in Jockey Hollow. Last week we drove by Jockey Hollow and sadly it was still closed. When they finally re-open I’ll be ready with my camera, face mask, and practicing safe distancing on the trails so I can enjoy what nature has to offer. Until then I’ll be looking at pictures taken of some of the wildlife I’ve seen in Jockey Hollow.…

I grew up in the area and learned all about the hardships of winter suffered by the Continental Army at Valley Forge. But then I came to this park and learned that the winter here was even harsher than at Valley Forge. Iwondered why they didn't teach that.

I always enjoy driving through Jockey Hollow and always have to walk around Tempe Wick house. Beautiful little roadway in and out. Fair amount of people running, with strollers and horse riders - good use of a wonderful park. However, it never ceases to amaze me how they change the roads there, put in new parking lots, build a visitor center (which was closed when I went) and basically spend more money on the park. As the old saying goes: "If it ain't broken, don't fix it", I have been going there for 50 years. I have seen many changes, not that they are bad but they don't seem necessary. But I suppose the people working there have to do something with money they get, so they spend it, to show they are doing something.…
