Sedgley Woods
Sedgley Woods is a section of east Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the site of a historic disc golf course. Established in 1977, the site boasts one of the oldest permanent pole-hole disc golf courses in the world. A volunteer organization called Friends of Sedgley Woods maintains the grounds, runs monthly tournaments, community out reach programs, and occasional events in conjunction with the Mid-Atlantic Disc Club and the Professional Disc Golf Association.The area was once the country estate of Joshua Fisher (1707-1783), a wealthy Quaker merchant from Lewes, Delaware, who purchased the 40-acre property in 1753 and constructed a colonial mansion there known as “The Cliffs”. The mansion, after decades of neglect, was destroyed by fire in 1986.More than 130 species of birds have been documented at Sedgley Woods and breeding birds have been monitored at the site since 2016.
