Open grass and gazebo
Sarah T.

This park boasts plenty of wide gravel & blacktop walking paths, pavilions with bbq grills & picnic tables, a really nice playground (actually 2-in-1- one for small kids and another for bigger kids), and plenty of benches. 2/3 of the park is open and grassy with young trees or "meadow habitat restoration area" (which looks much the same but with natural grasses). This portion contains all of the aforementioned amenities plus 2 dog parks (one for small dogs and one for medium and large dogs). The other smaller portion of the park is more natural and runs through the woods along the Rancocas Creek. Dogs are welcome (with leash if outside of dog park and bags regardless). This is a great park to spend a sunny day with a family or just enjoying the weather.

Terrific Dog Park. Two large enclosed areas, one for big dogs and one for small. Gazebo with tables in both parks. Second park bench near second entrance of big dog park. Much of the big dog park is sandy due to traffic. People are pleasant and welcoming. Park Rangers are helpful and fast. Reported a small gap in the fence and they fixed it no more than 15 minutes later. Thank you, Rangers Jessica and Pablo. Stickers are a seasonal problem. Temporary fences sometime block off the problem areas.

This is only one corner of the small dog area.

Visited the small dog side of the dog park today with a dog meet-up group. Loved the whole location. The small dog area is rather large, well fenced, and clean! The overall cleanliness was what struck me most. It seems like the humans who visit with their dogs clean up after their dogs and themselves. That's super important to me - I don't want to be dodging piles as I play with my dogs. There is a covered area with picnic tables on a concrete slab, so I imagine this park is great rain or shine. There are two sections of the dog park - one area is for large dogs and the other for smaller dogs. People seemed to abide by those rules. There is parking just past the two dog parks. Parking wasn't an issue, despite being there with a sizable group plus all the regular dog park visitors. There were walking paths outside the fenced in area, which were used by people with and without dogs. The park itself is huge, and absolutely worth a trip. FYI it is right off Route 130, so it's easy in and easy out!

One note, the enclosures are BIG, and the farther away from the gazebo your little pet gets, the more sticky burrs there are.

From the moment you enter you feel like you are anywhere but Northeast Philly! The grounds are pretty expansive with a variety of landscape design. It's a gorgeous place to wander on a nice day. It's also the ideal spot for a photo shoot - tons of backdrop options!! They do have limited visiting hours so check online before you plan to go - and you will need a ticket. I went on one of their few 'Open Saturdays.' Tickets were $15 each and for a two hour time period. I specifically went to have some photos taken and was not disappointed with them! Stunning backgrounds and lighting. Visitors are also welcome to bring a picnic lunch and sit out by the water, which I did. There is so much space which makes it easy for social distancing, though it wasn't crowded at all. Parking is easy, too. They have a large grassy area fir cars to park on. I believe they have a restroom for guests too, though I didn't use it. This is such a beautiful spot, I will definitely be back in the spring to see the flowers blooming!
