It is quiet, peaceful and the perfect place to escape without driving out of the city. It is the Northeast's hidden gem. With plenty of room to run, walk or bike Ben Rush is a welcome escape from the hustle and noise of the city. Trails for all, paved and unpaved (mostly handicapped accessible but not all) All trails interconnect, so you can explore in short loops or wander the whole 3.1 mile loop. Part of the trail even meets up with Poquessing Creek park for those seeking a longer escape from reality. One of the most interesting parts of this park is the Community Gardens. This area has GROWN (pun intended) over the years since we first discovered the park. A nominal fee will get you a small plot to grow your garden in full sun. You will find more that birds in the sky over the park. With NE Airport nearby, its quite common to see planes flying low over the park. Additionally at the far end of the park is a radio control airplane field where you can watch hobbyist maneuver the skies. While there are no playground equipment, Ben Rush has a lot to offer and with a Septa stop not that far away it is easily accessible to all.

We walked about a mile loop around the trail, thought it is about 3 miles total. There is so much wildlife around! The park is so well-maintained and clean. It is such a pleasure to walk around! The main trails are either pavement or gravel so it is very easy to get around. This park is an easy hike or good place for a jog. We also saw many people walking their dogs or enjoying the scenery. There is a huge parking lot, bathrooms, water fountains, and trash cans scattered throughout the park. I also saw a pavilion or two. The park is right next to the Delaware River, so there are many places to get great photos as well! On the trail, there were many maple trees, many types of grasses, many birds including gray catbirds, and some mushrooms. This is a great park for birdwatching or nature photography due to the amount of biodiversity. If you have a chance, you should totally check out this park!

Plenty of paved, unpaved, gravel and dirt trails that offer easy hikes throughout the park. Pavilions, picnic areas, playground equipment, a volley ball pit and pool all scattered about the 300+ acres of parkland. It does get crowded on the weekends in summer but weekdays you can catch a nice walk in with relatively minimal human interaction. NSP is well maintained and has plenty of facilities. Perfect for a quiet weekday walk or a day at the park with the family. For me, it reminds me of a younger time when my work ethic was formed and my love of nature began.

I was able to get a pin that says I hiked the Silver Lake Trail. so cute! I added it to my pin collection! Within the Visitor's Center there is information about common species within the park and information about species that used the live there before so many people lived nearby. It was very educational and helped me look for native species when walking around. There were also several turtles in tanks to look at and that was lovely. After the Visitor's Center, I went outside to enjoy the trails. There are a few different trails, I was just wandering around. I walked about 1.5 miles. On the path, I took photos of many native species and the biodiversity here is amazing! Partway through the trail, there is an overlook that allows you to look over the water and the view is amazing. I saw many people walking their dogs and enjoying the scenery. There were also a few families walking around. This is a peaceful, well-maintained park that is an excellent spot for birding, walking, nature photography, and much more! This is a hidden gem that I would totally recommend!!

The main path is only about a mile and a quarter around, so a couple of goes and you've done a few miles.
