The graffiti-covered ruins of "The Cliffs", the 18th-century colonial mansion of Joshua Fisher and family, at Sedgley Woods in 2018
Sedgley Woods is a section of east Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and a historical disc golf course site.[1] The site was established in 1977. It has one of the oldest permanent pole-hole disc golf courses. Friends of Sedgley Woods, a volunteer organization, maintains the grounds, runs monthly tournaments, community outreach programs, and occasional events in conjunction with the Mid-Atlantic Disc Club and the Professional Disc Golf Association.[2]
The area was 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”.[3][1] The mansion was destroyed by a fire in 1986 after decades of not being maintained.[4]
More than 130 species of birds have been documented at Sedgley Woods and breeding birds have been monitored at the site since 2016.[5][6]
