Welcome to Gladwyne
Centrally located between Center City, Philadelphia and King of Prussia with easy access to I-76 (Schuykill Expressway), the village of Gladwyne has the vibe of a quiet, walkable, wooded colonial town. Bloomberg Business Week ranked Gladwyne as 6th richest suburb in the United States in 2018 but Gladwyne has a history of being a desirable place to live with the 1690 house being the oldest standing structure in Lower Merion! Residents enjoy the 102 acre Rolling Hill Park, the Philadelphia Country Club, the Philadelphia Cricket Club, the Riverbend Education Center, and the Union League Guard House, a private members only dining room. The Bridelwild Trail extends 22 miles through various parks and estates and allows travel by foot or horse. The town also enjoys the Stony Lane Swim Club, a library and zoning for Lower Merion School District.

Trails here take you through deep, established woods and open meadows. The blue trail takes you along Mill Creek to see the ruins of several large stone buildings that housed millworkers before the turn of the century. A main draw of Rolling Hill Park is its dog-friendliness; there are both on and off-leash trails and fenced play areas.
Riverbend Environmental Education Center teaches environmental principles to children in Southeastern Pennsylvania, through a direct connection with nature, inspiring respect for our natural world and action as aware, responsible and caring citizens.
