With well over 275 acres of nature, Benjamin Rush State Park is nestled just off of The Roosevelt…read more Blvd, but you would never know it once inside the park. 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.

Great place to take a walk to clear your head, go for a nice jog or even just go to be in nature…read more I used to frequent this park a lot when I used to be able to walk longer before my chronic back pain got worse, but this state parks is one of my favorites. It's close to home so it's easy to get to. I'll probably start walking there again once Spring hits.

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 love the fact that the restrooms use hand dryers instead of paper towels considering the fact that this is a park.

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...
