I never considered how many wonderful memories have been had for the 58 yrs. ive been going to diffetent areas of pennypack park. as a small child my older sisters would take me with them to enjoy summer fun and imagine how my grandmom told me in the 1920s the water was so clean they would bath and eat fruits off the trees!, when i became a teenager we would enjoy walking thru the section behind lincoln highschool, going to little city( an areas we went in cars to make put) or go to pleasant park on a weekend to run into friends who would drive thru in cars or motorcycles- there was always a crowd on a nice summer day!( again, this was once a place my grandmoms family would swim in the early 1900s) as i got older i began enjoying it once again for they put so much work into it in the last 15 years by adding trails,maps, new sections for picnicing or walking, new activities mostly for free that are a wonderful way to get out and meet new people in a city thats been so ever changing. changing! These days i venture to the bike trails and other fun beautiful nature in the arras of pennypackpark outside the city. They have a wonderful bike yrail with parking on welsh rd in near 2nd st.pike and another on county line rd in warminsteri. From the bike trail to the walking trail this is my new adult disney land! The beauty is breathtaking! you feel like you are walking thru a scene out of a Thomas Kincade picture! From the streams to the beautiful old homes on the hills, to the giant rocks, memorial benches, lots of wildlife including many chipmunks, even little book swap boxes.... i guareentee you i never leave without feeling truly like ive just been to heaven! Playground: clean, fun , near restrooms and picnic areas and water! Restrooms: you can find restrooms at almost every picnic area( which they have many now in different sections) and on walking or bike trails there are always fairly clean portapotties. Dog-friendliness: isometimes i see more people walking dogs ( even parrots) more than just themselves! Picnic area: so many picnic areas at every section ive been too...always clean and inviting.
