I rented the House with the patio that overlooks the Perkiomen Creek for a family baby shower. It was so nice and cozy inside and has plenty of seating. The photos turned out nice. Many compliments on the location. I would definitely rent this house in the park again! The great thing about this particular park is you can see many joggers, bike riders, and horse back riding on the Perkiomen trail in the park; but there is enough space to not feel crowded. Otts exotic plants is nearby and makes a nice day trip if you have time to stop at both places.

The Perkiomen Creek is a beautiful sight, very reminiscent of the Neshaminy Creek in Bucks County. Yes, the Perkiomen Trail is a rail trail, you can read about it on Wikipedia. Near the park is Ott's Greenhouse, which is DEFINITELY worth checking out.

This is a great neighborhood park, another one in the heart of Conshy, and this one real close to…read moredowntown! Beautiful playground and location, and the kids really enjoy so many of the features. It really was built very thoughtfully, with some things very clearly for smaller children but others fun for bigger. There's a small area with an enclosed space that's great for crawlers, then your typical playground equipment like swings and slides (also split by age group), and then some even cooler stuff toward the back - a music area, and a zip line! All that, and there are pavilions for shade, which are very key in the summer. Overall, a really great spot that the kids really love, and one that I hope to return to with them often!

I've also brought the toddler over to play around a bit in the morning, and it's been a fun spot to check out. The playground has a small kid area, which I appreciate. The exercise equipment is in two separate spots in the park (that I'm aware of), which makes for a nice workout - run to the one by the baseball fields, do some exercise, then run back around to the one near the memorial and do some exercises and stretches there. It's closer to home than the longer route I usually run, so I like doing this shorter route with some additional workouts if I'm a little more crunched on time in the morning.

Its nearly 15 acres has a kids playground, ball fields, fishing pond, gazebo and restrooms (currently closed due to Covid-19). It is a pleasant public space designed for family use. On this beautiful Sunday in June it was quiet. Parents with young children were primarily at the playground, while kids old enough to handle a fishing rod were practicing their casting into the pond. Teenagers were seen farther out along the trails congregating in small groups. To each his own. We walked along the paved pathway over Pine Run Creek to be able to reach Old Ironhill Road and the northern approach to the covered bridge. There was some traffic, so we waited until it was clear and safe to walk through the hemlock and pine span to to the end. From there, we walked along Pine Run a bit to see what flora and fauna it had to offer. Didn't see much, but the gurgling stream was relaxing. Completing the circuit, we strolled back into the center of the park where the car was parked. Our plan was to go next to Peace Valley Park, but when we arrived it was so crowded we decided not to stop because it would have been impossible to maintain safe social distancing, and so many there were not wearing masks. Just not worth the risk.

His mausoleum is in Laurel Hill Cemetery, so although originally from North Carolina, his true impact was on the cultural life of our city. Fairly small, it feels considerably larger due to its connection to Pennypack Park covering a large area in Northeast Philadelphia to the border with Montco. The creek by the same name flows through both parks, tying them together geologically. The watercourse meanders through Lorimer where it has cut a deep ravine over the millennia. There are multiple scenic overlooks worth exploring, even in winter when the absence of foliage allows you to see through the trees to the actual contours of the steep rocky hills across the creek. If power walking or family bike riding is your jam, Pennypack Trail runs along the northern boundary of the park and beyond for several miles, and it is flat, wide and dirt/gravel packed for smooth ambulation or cross country biking, allowing excellent views of the topography and creek vale. Plenty of parking in a big lot across the road from the main entrance.
