A great getaway from the hustle and bustle of Philadelphia; a place to commune with nature and the Delaware River. Designated as an important bird area by the Audubon Society, the park offers on a typical day of birdwatching, sightings of the resident bald eagles, red-tailed and Coopers hawks, an American kestrel, various song birds and waterfowl. Today I spotted a bufflehead duck in the creek. If youre really lucky, the resident red-morph screech owl will make an appearance in the fall and winter. Deer and red foxes may surprise you too.

This has been one of my favorite places since I was a kid. I took my dogs for a nice long walk. This is such a relaxing place for me.

Its so beautiful to be able to walk to the park near home. The colors of the trees are beautiful right now. Philadelphia has great parks!

Great day for a walk outside in the fall weather and Pennypack Park was the perfect place for it. Trees are just beginning to turn. There were lots of people out today. Saw a few senior citizens, some moms and dads with baby coaches and lots of young kids...teenagers too taking pictures of each other. A running club practicing and people having picnics. This was around the Winchester Park area.

This place is so relaxing. I got to walk with my dogs and saw a lot of dogs also. Good place to relax and walk.

I love this parks walking path. Fellow visitors: please be respectful and dont litter or hog the paths! Nevertheless, I wish there were usable bathrooms here.

Great trails for hiking, biking, foraging, and studying the ecology of SEPA. There are plenty of spots to host family picnics, playgrounds for kids, and even paved trails that are wheelchair accessible. The park is also conveniently located in the Northeast part of the city and accessible by bus. Theres also a rustic, but informative environmental center with displays about our native flora and fauna.

I have loved Pennypack Park since I was a kid. Now I try to visit once a week to get away from the craziness around my home in Kensington. The weather was beautiful and I was able to relax with a wonderful, long walk with my dogs. The pictures are from the entrance near Rhawn street by Winchester Ave.

Nice park and easy trail along a stream. People with dogs were numerous. Down side no restrooms.

Beautiful trails to explore...great for running, hiking, fishing, biking or just enjoying walk around there.

A nice and wooded getaway from the concrete and traffic. Beautiful scenery, a bridge over the creek, and paved walkways around the perimeter for bikes. Parking and restrooms are also in the park.

Park is nice. Lots of dogs. Most people are nice. Lots of foreigners wont even acknowledge you if you say hello.hey this is America. The creek is nice. Lots of paths to walk. You can get away .enjoy.

The best part of penny pack park is along the river behind the prisons, big open fields to play any kind of sports or to let the dog run, there are also a short bike n walking trail, if ya walk the trail all the way back till the end n look up across a swampy pond in the trees about two hundred yards back ya can see an Eagles nest n if lucky enough actually see it soaring over head, you also can just sit in ur car facing the river n just sit back n rest.

Went biking on the main trail today. Very clean. Good workout for the legs with the couple of inclines. Went end to end and back for a total of 17.8 miles. Started at Verree Road. This is not the place to start if you are driving there. Best place is Pine Road. Good parking there. The only parking at Verree Road in on the road. Closest (small) lot is at the environmental center a block away.

Beautiful walking and biking paths. Its a great place to exercise or just relax by the water.

Nice road for bycycling and walking along the river. Beautiful nature. Pretty long park, almost without loops

Great city park with a stocked creek streaching from Montgomery county across NE Philly and into the Delaware river the with trails for walking, hiking, bicycling, and horseback riding. There are multiple access points throughout the length with parking areas restrooms and picnic areas.

Its just a very Beautiful place, the air smells good in the woods. This is a wonderful safe way to get out.My only lament is towards the inconsiderate people that dont clean up after themselves. I pulled a beer bottle out of a tree branch smdh.

The park was a great find. Trails were clear as well as paved paths. People were around enjoying the open space and wasnt crowded. My kids enjoyed climbing the boulders and. Our dog got in a nice walk and splashed in the water to cool off. One of my top five places I need to return to in Fall to watch the leaves change

Love the wildlife, if you know how and WHERE to look.Pm. Me - to learn the right places.All welcome...

With the man I talked to god about, I thought. But we had fun. I love him. Just became Crazy love.

Great place to hike, mountain bike, walk, just enjoy nature! So many entrances to choose from. Ive been mtn biking and hiking there for 30 years! Beautiful!

Great place to take the kids while they are home from school. Something very different from the usual cement and row homes of the Philadelphia neighborhoods. Walk the trails, skip rocks, ride the bike paths. Seeing a few deer is not uncommon. Dont really know if its allowed but when we were a lot younger, we would go swimming in the creek. A rope swing hanging from a tree, is all it took to have a good time. Try not to swallow and of the water. It is not filtered. Have seen a couple people become sick due to swallowing too much creek water. Self proclaimed rock skipper in Northeast Philly! Lol.

A nice big park near my house I like to walk in sometimes.

Great place for a picnic. Bring the whole family. Beautiful view of the prison and the Delaware River

At the time of the event the grass needed to be cut. The parking lot doesnt have lines, so parking became a serious problem. The location has great views of the river.

This park is in Philadelphia, but it definitely does not feel like Philadelphia! A great place to hike in.

Beautiful November day, and a nice smallie to top it off, worth a last season try.

Very peaceful and a great views, nice place for a jog with your spouse.

Its a great place for family fun, hikes wildlife fauna .......I grew up in and around the park I just love it

It was a beautiful view .Quite place to relax and enjoy the day with friends or family members.

Great park for hiking, bicycling and walking your dog.

Love this area. But its changed never thought it would happen. Memories.

This place is amazing. Been riding my bike every single day. You can ride all the way down to the Delaware river.

A safe refuge from the city chaos and noise. Very diverse with animals that range from white tails deer to frogs, trails, off road little paths and so on. Alas, no restrooms and the access on Rahwn street could use a good re-paving since the asfalt is litterally a mine fields for cars and trucks (lots of HOLES)

I love pennypack park. In summer time we go cycling and hiking along with our dog. Lots of people come to fishing and relaxing. Fall comes with beautiful scenery and so is spring with flowers and waterfalls. You can enjoy this place year round. You cant miss it.

Beautiful place to walk

It’s a great family activity park... nice for bike ride... picnics...barbecue...etc...

Great place when youre with others. By yourself tho, especially during a rainy day, every sound will break your neck and you just better have brought bread crumbs with you if you wanna make it back outta there. One wrong turn and its survival mode real quick. Better have your boy/girl scout badge and ready to get a little dirty.

I want to go back here, its beautiful

Love the bike trails. Paved trails are mostly shaded. They are many miles long without an intersecting the streets. The hills are tough, but I love a challenge.

We visited on a Sunday with our dog, hiking from the Pine Road entrance to Verree Road and back. The Park was very crowded, with groups hanging out by the Pennypack Creek, fishing, and strolling. We started out on the paved trail that runs parallel to the creek. This trail was overrun with bicyclists speeding by. Instead, take the unpaved path on the other side of the creek, entering at Verree Road. This path was shady, and less congested with foot traffic. There are no trash cans, and the 1 restroom we saw was locked. HIghlights are Thoreaus Hut, the creek and the park grounds. Across from Pine Road is Fox Chase Farm, an educational working farm open to the public. You can walk the trail and see cows.

Just perfect. For walking, biking, or observing, this path is amazing.

Peaceful. And has more than 250 different birds. Pretty cool

Ran an event at the park. Awesome trails that are well maintained and flat. Not great markings but for the event it was very easy to follow. Parking was a little scarce so be prepared to park on the street if there is a big crowd

Great park for walking, running, cycling and even horseback riding.

I spent here wonderful Sunday. Nice view, clear air, good pawns sideways. River Sounds and smell Trees just perfect impressions.

Easy walks and trails....gorgeous water senses.....lively birds ...not crowded! Going back for sure.

Paved trails along a wooded creek, mildly hilly terrain. Several spots were ankle to knee deep, other spots deep enough for fishing. Not too crowded, kids ages 2-13 enjoyed fresh air and water play.

To have your own peaceful time

Love ti stroll thru the park and carry a fishing rod, so I can wet a line on my journey.

Always clean and Beautiful.. Ive been going there since I was a teenager.

Beautiful quiet escape thats close...dog friendly..

My favorite park for bike riding very peaceful and love being on the creek

Great day to enjoy some nature

Great Trek today. Alotta joggers out and other bicyclist this Monday!

Not was it used to be years ago.Trees shrubs are so tall makes walking Not a pleasant experience.

This park is so realizing when you walk in it. The natur feels so good when you walk around you feel like its a adventure. They have little challenges for you ever step you take. Its a safe space for running, walking, going on picnics and much more. When you walk around youll see a lot of wild life and nature. It almost feels like a forest that no human touched or cut trees from. There is also a river that goes through a bridge. Its a great place to take pictures and have fun. Hope you found this helpful

Nice park run every morning

Wish people didnt litter the beautiful woods

My grandson had a blast finding Rare rocks by the water. Everyone there kept a safe distance. It was a great day to be outside.

Great way to take a stroll thru the parks easy trails.

Great to have a nature walk inside the city.

Great place to walk trails- they scatter, split off, and go around for miles. You can also bike, jog, etc. I took my 7 and 4 year old to ride their scooters hoping it would wear them out. It did no such thing. Regardless though, It was a fun time. There are tons of entrances and different things to see on the trails from each entrance- different parts of the creek, little bridges, small open fields, etc.

Beautiful park, great for a walk with the dog or biking. Even though there are no swimming signs the creek is great to cool off in!

Gorgeous park, BUT...the roads are VERY DANGEROUS. You cant drive through safely. PLEASE FIX THE ROAD!!!

Another beautiful green space ion the city limits. Excellent biking on the paved path and mountain biking in the surrounding woods.

Best city park system in the country

Been coming here since I was a kid. Lots of walking and biking trails fishing wildlife and great scenery. Could use some work done on the drivable roads though especially the entrance on Rahwn St!

Beautiful, quiet, cool & shady. Just a lovely walk from Pine to Verree or Visa versa. .8/10 of a mile each way.

Awesome place & very friendly people

Nice paved trail. Plenty of shade and less congested than the paths near center city.

I use this park every week, as a rider out of Solly Stables. Its lovely. This time of year, the trails can get a bit overgrown, but theres always plenty to see. Keep an eye out for woodpeckers, tree frogs, fox, deer, and other charismatic fauna!

Beautiful park to relax. Unfortunately people leave so much trash all over. The park is truly beautiful!

Nice for a walk on an Autumn day but it was in kind of an isolated area right off of I-95. Saw signs of homeless living. Probably wouldn’t feel safe going here at sunset or early morning.

Excellent paved trail for biking.

Quiet, peaceful, a wonderful little hideaway in a big busy city. If you want a bit of nature take a stroll through this park, you wont be sorry.

I got some things to share about this expansive green space, but need to put a pin in it. Review Coming Soon!

I mean i love biking pretty nice trail

Best poor swimming pool in the great northeast

Great for walking jogging and just enjoying nature

I love this place! Great for a jog or even a really good nature walk!!

I only give it 3 stars because the only time of year that its beautiful is Autumn & Winter Seasons. I appreciate it when its cool outside & the Autumn leaves fall,as Autumn is my favorite season of all time. Also in the Winter when u can c the snow on top of trees& its nice& cold outside I appreciate that also.

Peaceful forest, great for fishing, running or walking with the family. Never alone.

I love this park but I hate the people that come here. At any given moment you may see people swimming, drinking, partying, trash and graffiti. Dogs are sometimes off the leash, this is not a dog park.

I always take the kids for a walk in the park. Full of old history and its free. The kids love exploring. We always dig for hidden treasures like cool rocks and really old glass bottles. We even find really cool leaves and sticks.

Best hot sauce in the USA!!! piquemiami.com ate it at the park for a picknick

Special place I call home

Great park in the middle of Philly. Hidden gem. Derailleur broke but Ill be back!

Pretty clean and so much space to do some outdoor sporting

Love the trails at this park! Awesome place!

So beautiful!!!! The butterflies just come right to you. God is awesome

Had a beautiful ceremony for my sister in laws passing

Nice park to go swimming in the creek and have bbq. Only went once on the 4th of July and people were rowdy and it was crazy. Not sure how it is on normal weekends though but I’m guessing this place does draw a more noisy crowd lol. I didn’t see any bathrooms either, so be prepared to pop a squat in the woods if you gotta go!

This park is beautiful and is always a nice place to take the dogs for a walk remember to keep them on the leash though there are bikers driving around really fast sometimes. The Lake is really cold do not go swimming in it I do not recommend it but the paths are really long and you can go for a couple mile high care no problem

Great place but recently during corona there has been alot of parties being held here and alot of swiming ALOT of people with no masks its a corona party if u go protect your self this season

Very peaceful....relaxing

Great community & kids spot for swimming hiking and cycling. The park is unfortunately poorly maintained and full of trash. Upnpaved trails are not maintained and overgrown.

Peaceful and serene to walk and meditate.

I like walking through the park very nice scenery I have to find out where you volunteer because I like to pick up the trash to make the park look better
