Who owns the Wissahickon and is in charge of the park?
The Wissahickon, including the three public stables and Valley Green Inn, is owned by Philadelphia Parks & Recreation (PPR), a department of the City of Philadelphia. PPR is directly responsible for all conservation, maintenance, and preservation efforts except those formally delegated to others (such as the stables and the lease at Valley Green Inn). But FOW is in partnership with PPR and is a long-standing steward of the park.
