Courtesy Stables is a distinctive facility, located in the Wissahickon Valley of Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park. With over 9,200 acres, Fairmount Park has been called "one of the largest urban parks in the country". Because Courtesy Stables is located in an urban setting, bordered on two sides by residential housing and on the other two sides by Fairmount Park, we believe the stables are uniquely situated to offer local residents in the surrounding community, as well as visitors to Fairmount Park, access to an equine environment that they might otherwise be unlikely to experience. Courtesy Stables is managed by Walt Sasse, one of Philadelphia’s Finest, retired Mounted Officer.
