Beautiful park and trail. The only issue which was a big deal for us was that there are no where near enough recycle bins in the park. The main trail didnt have any recycle bins so we had to walk half a mile to get to one in the picnic area. Otherwise its a beautiful park.

Free parking. Paved walking/biking trails. Outdoor resistance machines that are wheelchair accessible! Great for those who cant go to the gym during Covid-19.There are barbeque grills scattered around and a Pavilion /playground.There is ponding on the trail and mushy areas after a substantial rainfall the day before, so just be aware of the muddy/wet areas.

Beautiful Park! It has an amazing trail along the river with wonderful views. There is a playground for kids, exercise equipment for adults, Voleyball and Basketball court with space to seat and enjoy lunch. Great to walk, bike, skate or rollerblade. There are mobile restrooms as well.

Nice park to take a walk admiring Mother Nature on a nice Fall afternoon. Views of the Perkiomen Creek along the path add to the enjoyment.

Large park. Great for a picnic, riding, and walking. If you plan to ride north along the trail, be prepared. The sewer line project has installed black barriers along the east side of the trail blocking the view of the creek. Boo!

I have been here for multiple times. Earlier we used to go here for my kid. Kids play area is very good and can go around for a walk. This trail connects to perkimon trail as well as to valley forge park.There are open spaces where we can carry out group activities. many barbeque pits for small picnics.

I think this is the most beautiful trails in the area. I have visited a lot of them, but if you want a trail where you can get access to the water easily and clean this is perfect. The colors are just amazing during sunset and sun rises. It is any photographers dream. I enjoyed it as a photographer. #Prosopope find me on Instagram @Prosopope7

This park is an excellent trailhead for the perkiomen valley trail. It looks like a great place for dog walking or jogging as well. I used it as a launching point for cycling.

Says drones can be flown in designated areas and no areas are set up. Open fields available all the time but was told cant fly there due to people in area yet I saw golfers hitting golf balls there all the time which I believe are more dangerous than a drone flying.

A great hidden gem to kiddos age 12 to 36 months. A small playground with slides closer to the ground for little ones. I love this park!

Review №43

Very nice level paved trail. It’s about 1 1/2 mi until you get to the larger trail continuing to Valley Forge. A lot of bikers use this trail on weekends for the longer ride to Valley Forge. That’s a little bit of the downside. They tell you when they’re coming up behind you, but you have to be aware not to meander.

Review №44

Only ever used the grass fields for playing ultimste frisbee. (About 8 fields total) Mostly good condition. Frequently seen rec path (near fields) busy with runners and people cycling who park in the first lot. A outdoor workout area along the path. Hear theres a disc golf course and picnic area, further down the park but cannot confirm with my own eyeballs.

This is just for the basketball court. Nice rims, and great traction!To park near here, enter at the end of the road along 422. Then drive through picnic area. Parking lot is fairly hidden on the north side of the road that goes in a circle.

Lovely park! The fields are well-kept, the bike path looked sweet, and that pavilion had plenty of room for people to hang out in a well-shaded area. In a quiet area as well (despite being right off a highway).

Review №52

Not usually crowded, nice, long, paved pathway along the creek for walking, jogging, biking ... I think the pathway here connects to the Schuylkill Trail somewhere near Conshohocken. Another free parking area caddie- corner to St. Gabes school, maybe more now behind TheDump store in Oaks. Very close to Valley Forge National Historic Park. I think the pathway also allows some access to an early hub of American Cinema, a movie studio started by Edison, if memory serves. (Apparently the studios moved across the country to Hollywood way back when that was far-enough away to evade Edisons patent lawyers. Typical Hollywood? I hope not.)

A nice area with a walking/biking path, playground, and plenty of open space. Views include overlooking the Perkiomen Creek. The path is part of the Perkiomen Trail which connects with the Schulykill River Trail.

Review №68

They recently redid the play area for the kids so that its got nicer swings, benches for the adults, and wood chips. The grills are placed close enough to make watching the kids doable while cooking. Public bathrooms are also close. The only downside is the drainage is poor so expect mud.

Great park for hiking, picnicking, bicycling, bushwacking, or just walking the well maintained trails. The old railroad trail extends from the city all the way to Philmont Avenue in Upper Moreland.
