So, what's a couple girls to do when the weather calls for 65 degrees? A walk through Main Street and a pit stop at Pretzel Park, that's what. So, I loaded Eva up and we set off for a 3.78 mile round trip. What a great way to work off the winter pounds!
Pretzel Park is this really cute park nestled on the side of the steep hills of Manayunk in Philadelphia, PA. Created in 1929, it was originally called Manayunk Park.
It is believed to have been called Pretzel Park by the surrounding neighbors for one of two reasons, the shape of the walking path that around and through it and/or because of a pretzel vendor that used to sell Philly Pretzels there.
However the case, the city eventually made it official and changed the name to Pretzel Park and in 2005 the statue was put in.
