Tamanend Upper Southampton Community Park

Tamanend Upper Southampton Community Park

This small community park on 2nd Street Pike, Upper Southampton, PA, was once the farmstead of the…read moreRichard Leedom family, whose people can be traced back to William Penn and the American Revolution. The farmhouse has been beautifully restored, and carriage house rebuilt into a spacious meeting room for use by groups willing to pay a modest fee to the association that maintains the property. Dedicated in 1975, the amenities are modest, but still offer room for walking trails, frisbee golf, and open fields for games and and overnight camping by local scout troops. There are BBQ pits for cooking and covered concrete pads for meals and organized activities. I spent a night in a tent with my son here when he was a Cub Scout. The park is named for Chief Tanamend (or Tammeny), the leader of the Turtle Clan of the Lenni Lenapi Native American tribe. It was he who made peace with William Penn at nearby Penn Treaty Park, just at the edge of Philadelphia on the Delaware River. Some called him a saint for his amiableness toward the early settlers in the late 17th Century. His life and death were celebrated on May 1st annually, first in Philly, and then in most of the original colonies. He has been forgotten by many, except those who know and honor the history of this area.

This is a very small park, but if you just want a quick jaunt into nature it's not bad…read more The parking situation is a bit confusing. There's two main parking lots, both of which seem to lead to large fields and picnic areas. However if you take a short walk behind the park offices you'll find that there are additional trails to hike along, but keep in mind none of these trails are very long. One plus is that this park is never all that crowded, so if you like solitude you'll have a good time. I've only ever come alone, but if you were to bring kids there's a playground for them and large fields to kick a ball around. This isn't a bad park, just not my favorite.

Specifically for the dog park, who charges 30$ a year to use a dog park. I needed to get out and…read morewanted to bring my dog along and I walk up to a number lock gate. Gentleman inside informs me it's a paid to get in. Super inclusive, Super cool. Maybe make it free so everyone can use it?

I was pretty surprised to see that no one has established this joint on Yelp yet, so I made the…read moreinitiative to spread the word. This park is right off Bristol Road on an old air base and you couldn't possibly miss it. It's a spot that will please people of all sorts, as there is quite a bit to do. There is a pretty long track that runs along the perimeter of the place, with exercise spots along the way. I believe it says it's about 2.5 miles, which is great if you're trying to keep some accountability. You'll even get to see the abandoned neighborhood through some of the fencing as you walk, which is kind of cool to see. This place also has a dog park within it, as well as a huge playground. It's a great spot to bring the kids, but make them go to the bathroom beforehand. The restrooms are locked for the winter and the porta potties aren't in great shape. If you find yourself wondering across the street, there is another park (Munro) that offers another playground and a place for the skateboarders to let loose. If you know what geocaching is, you will also be able to partake in some of that. Most people I encounter absolutely love this park. Great for runners, bladers, and bikers. For me personally, I enjoy places that are a little more quiet and have nature trails. This place works though.

This is a great place in which to get some fresh air and exercise. There is a paved path that…read moreencircles the main area in the front of the park; a small playground; and in the rear, "off the beaten path" trails, if you will. Deer, rabbits and a variety of birds are frequently present. What I really like about the park is when the sunlight hits the trees just so, it's really beautiful, and, the multiple little hills make for a good leg workout. The main path is only about a mile and a quarter around, so a couple of goes and you've done a few miles.

What a cute little place!…read more This past weekend they had their first Easter Food Truck Festival, and I do not think that they anticipated the crowd that they received!!! Not only could the parking lot not handle the cars, but the rest of the area couldn't handle the crowds lol! This is a historic farm, that was taken over by the city/county, and turned into a historic site/public mixed use property. They have a very nice jungle gym where kids can play on! Sadly my kid is still a little too young for that... So they have a parking lot, which they used for the food trucks, so everyone had to park on the grass, and they ran out of space lol! The food trucks were also way too close together, you didn't know what line you were on half the time lol! They ran a super cute Easter Egg hunt for the kids, and it was 20 seconds long lol! They definitely didn't expect these crowds! All in all a very very cute little park, its just not large enough to handle the crowds they had...
