The proposal for the zip line has been officially set aside. We have preserved the quiet character of the Wissahickon for the many people who rely on its peace. I hope we continue to remain vigilant in protecting this landscape for the future.

We believe that the Wissahickon and environs, as they are, are essential to the southeastern region of Pennsylvania. Countless citizens enjoy the park for what it is, a respite from city life. A place to walk, jog, bike or ride your horse. A place to commune with nature. A place to take photographs, skim stones, picnic or just sit on a bench ... quietly. The encroachment of city life is everywhere but here. we'd like to keep it this way. What we don't want is more noise and traffic. More parking lots and sanitation facililities. More disturbance and destruction of public land. We therefore petition our legislators to prohibit the construction of a zip line in a most serene setting.

NO ZIP LINE. It will bring way too much traffic to an area that is already crowded on weekends. Just no.

Total waste of money and will destroy the trails. Bad idea.

The Wissahickon is one of the only places left near the city to actually hear yourself think. Leave it alone.

Can we just have one place that stays peaceful? Enough is enough with the concrete and development.
