A Walk in the Park

...Lederer Park that is.


Once the weather starts to break here at Penn State (fingers crossed that it's soon), Lederer Park is a great place to relax -- perfect for de-stressing, especially with finals on the way! I visited the park when we had the bout of warmer, super sunny weather and it was a great place to enjoy a nearby public park.


Located down University Drive, it is not even a mile away from campus. I plan to run there once the weather is favorable. The park itself is a great place to run as well. The sun breaking through the trees is just gorgeous and makes you find a deeper appreciation for nature.


The park, itself, features:
  • Walking paths 
  • An Arboretum
  • 2 picnic pavilions (perfect for warm weather get-togethers + grilling)
  • A portable bathroom (because peeing in the woods isn't pleasurable)

Essentially, Lederer Park is a great, nearby spot to relax, read a book, take a walk/run, or just indispensably enjoy.
