Good spot, easy to forget it's still in the city…read more I've been here a handful of times, usually after work or on weekends when I need to get outside for a bit. Once you're on the trails it gets surprisingly quiet. Like, noticeably quieter than you'd expect from somewhere still technically inside Philadelphia. The paths are mostly flat gravel so it's not a hard walk at all. I tend to stop on the boardwalks and just look out over the marsh for a few minutes. Last time there were a few turtles lined up on a log, and I'm pretty sure I spotted a couple of herons near the water too. You do hear planes since the airport's close by, but it doesn't really bother me. Kind of adds to the strangeness of the place in a way I actually like. One thing worth knowing: the mosquitoes are no joke. I skipped bug spray once and regretted it pretty quickly. If you're going in summer, just bring some, especially if you're planning to hang around near the water.

If you want to host an event, you can reserve one of the pavilions to hold a BBQ cookout. There is a kids' play area for the little ones too. There's also a huge open lawn for outdoor activities, although it isn't the best spot because of all the goose droppings. Now, if they got the goose population under control, it would be awesome for football, frisbee, or volleyball. Alternatively, if you want some time to yourself to stroll the walking trail, it's certainly peaceful and serene, with gorgeous views of Philadelphia from the New Jersey side looking out across the Delaware River. Plus, the park has a lot of history, so be sure to take time to appreciate that aspect! PRO TIP: Saturdays are obviously the busiest, with all the group gatherings, so arrive early to find parking. The parking lot tends to fill up quickly during those times.

On this warm Sunday before Memorial Day when we honor those who have and continue to sacrifice for America, the setting was beautiful! There is plenty of space for 1/2 of Delco to enjoy. The grounds boast 4 gazebos several park benches, a sound stage and beautifully manicured grounds for you to lay down a blanket or fold up chairs. There are stairs where you can walk down to the waters edge if you desire. This is at your own risk of course. For the children/families there is plenty of your standard but very modern playground activities. Additionally there is a great water splash pad. Please defer to their website for the Grand ReOpening events along with other events throughout the summer. This park is adjacent to a new beautiful Holiday Inn Express. Bring the family, chairs/blankets, bug repellent, sunscreen and enjoy!

Trail = 5 stars! Not…read moresure why Yelp combined all access points for this trail into one listing??? Not allowing multiple listings for different access points prevents those unfamiliar from knowing there are other areas to park. The Knowlton Rd lot is already problematic and constantly full, so whatever, I tried to provide listings for the other lots. Annoying, Yelp, and not in service to the community. Try Mt.

Honestly though, I would have been just as happy to spend a whole day driving to each stop and walking along the trails. There's never enough time to do it all. There's a number of ways to see it. We booked a small-group tour out of Philadelphia on a beautiful day in September. You can tour it on your own (by car) or book the trolley tour. The National Park Service app is very helpful if you're going the self-guided route. It also gives you closure alerts and the time & place of events throughout the day. The musket firing demonstration just happened to be offered that day. It was one of the highlights of our visit. I won't get into details since I've already reviewed each stop separately. Just know that it was just as fun driving over the Knox bridge and seeing wildlife near the roads along the meadows and creek. We saw a couple of white-tailed deer as well as a cute little spotted fawn that looked like Bambi. That was another highlight for us. The historical houses, monuments, redoubts, and replica huts are scattered throughout Valley Forge. There are bridges and trails along Valley Creek and the Schuylkill River for hikers and nature lovers. We saw many people enjoying the walk. Their dogs were loving it too. It truly was a fun day for all. Don't miss it!

Can't ask for more as you're able to spend a perfect day at this park. The welcome center is a great start as they offer a great orientation video in a large theater that runs often. Then you can tour the museum for little bit of more history to absorb in! Gift shop offers great souvenirs! The park is clean and easy to get around as you may go at your own pace in your own car touring the park stopping at attractions. The map is easy to use and follow. Or you can purchase an audio tour or rent bikes. Love the history and the information provided. Great attractions that makes you feel in the moment when visiting. Love George Washington's quarters and the barracks around the park along with the artillery park. Hands down one of the best major attractions that you must visit when in the area.

I don't recall how I stumbled upon it, but ever since then when I work down in Logan Township, all I can talk about is this park. I didn't take many pictures as it was raining and I typically don't like running with anything in my hands, much less a phone. I'm a purist, so no phone, no ear buds, just me and the pavement. So if you haven't guessed it, I love running in this park. If you are a runner, jogger, walker, whatever - they have space for you. They have marked miles so if you don't wear a tracker you will still know exactly how far you have gone. They have something for everyone... you want fields? They have so many, softball, baseball, soccer, field hockey and basketball courts. And they have multiples of each, so if someone is using a field you want, no worries they have others. This park is huge, but it is also clean and well maintained - you will be able to tell immediately that this is an affluent community. Each of the times I have come here to go for a run, there were parents with their little peewee football kids practicing. There were dads teaching their daughters to catch a baseball, there were grandparents walking babies in strollers, there were moms with tykes in the playground designated for little kids. There were joggers like me, there were lovers strolling by and holding hands, there were people of all ages and sizes walking and enjoying this beautiful park. I hope it stays like this forever, it is a jewel in this community and everytime I visit Logan Township, I will be visiting this park for a run.
