    Archaeologists in the future 1000 years from now will uncover Red Banks Battlefield as a historic…read moresite in American revolutionary history and as a Mecca for Pokemon Go players during the early 2000's. On any given day this summer, there are at least 500 people at the park playing Pokemon together, hanging out, and having a good time socializing. (Historic sites have a greater chance to spawn rare Pokemon. Public parks and water also help spawn Pokemon. Therefore, this place is the perfect combination of park, water, and historic landmarks for Pokemon.) Although, I came here for the Pokemon Go craze, I am also planning to come back here for the historic battle reenactments in October. It is amazing how Pokemon brings me to new places, and I learn about new things in local American history. Aside from Pokemon, this is a beautiful park with a view of South Philly across the Delaware river, a gorgeous sunset, pavilions, playground, butterfly garden, historic monuments, and bathrooms. There's also a snack cart when I went selling food and refreshments. Parking should be plenty for a normal park crowd, but seems to be overflowing due to Pokemon players. Nonetheless, whether you are a fan of history or Pokemon, check out this park!

    Really disappointing experience at Red Bank Battlefield. We were loading heavy items and parked…read morebriefly in the area where we've always unloaded for years. My family has been coming here for about 25 years, and we've unloaded heavy things in that same general area many times without issue. Instead of a simple warning or asking us to move, we were immediately given a parking ticket for being on the grass. If the rules have changed or this is now being enforced differently, basic courtesy would be to communicate that first. What made it worse was how the situation was handled. Matt was extremely rude, unprofessional, and unnecessarily confrontational. Longtime visitors shouldn't be treated like that, especially when simply loading/unloading heavy items. Very disappointing experience at a place we've supported and visited for decades.

    You don't know what you don't know and for the last four and a half years I had no idea this park…read morewas here. 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.
