Arcadia University Theater
Arcadia's campus theater on South Easton Road, home to the university's performing arts program and the student productions it stages during the school year.
Ardsley Community Center
The township-run community center on Spear Avenue in Ardsley, where Abington's recreation programs and neighborhood meetings happen.
Ardsley Park
Neighborhood park on Tennis Avenue in Ardsley, the kind of green space people walk to rather than drive to. No website, no gate, no admission.
Ardsley Wildlife Sanctuary
A wooded sanctuary off Jefferson Avenue in Ardsley, kept as habitat instead of lawn. Quiet ground for a walk and for whatever is nesting in it.
artPOP Studio
An independent art studio and event space on East Glenside Avenue, right on the main stretch through town.
Baederwood Park
One of Abington Township's public parks, on Highland Avenue in the Baederwood section of Glenside. Open to anyone, no ticket required.
The CO Lab
A community space on Mount Carmel Avenue in Glenside, the kind of room local groups book for classes and small gatherings.
The Craftorium
A craft and party space on the same Mount Carmel Avenue block as the CO Lab, set up for making things at a table with other people.
Dennis P. Dougherty Memorial Park
A small township park on Central Avenue built around its playground. The kind of place kids get walked to after school rather than driven to on a weekend.
Edge Hill Woods Wildlife Sanctuary
Abington Township keeps this patch of woods off Roslyn Avenue as a wildlife sanctuary. Trees, birds, and a break from the street grid, with nothing to pay at the entrance.
Galerie Hamid
An art gallery on New Street in Glenside, small and independently run rather than attached to a museum or a school.
Glenside Free Library
The Glenside branch of the Cheltenham Township library system, on South Keswick Avenue. Free to join and open to anyone in the township.
Grey Towers Castle
The stone castle at the center of Arcadia University's campus on South Easton Road. A former private mansion with turrets, and the building people mean when they say the castle in Glenside.
Harry Renninger Park
A small township park on South Keswick Avenue in Glenside. Green space for a walk or a sit rather than a half-day out, and no website to check before you go.
harry’s HOUSE Gallery
An art gallery on North Keswick Avenue, in the Keswick Village stretch of Glenside. A storefront space showing work rather than a museum you plan a day around.
Lisa Kelley Studio
An artist's studio and art school on East Glenside Avenue, teaching out of a small space near the Glenside train station.
The Royal, Where Music Lives
A live music venue on South Easton Road in Glenside, and the name tells you the plan. Check the schedule before you make the drive, since what's on stage changes night to night.
