Pennypack Park

Pennypack Park stretches nine miles northwest from the Delaware River to the city's border with Montgomery County, covering 1,395 acres. Pennypack Park is named after the Lenni Lenape Indian word for deep, slow moving water.

If you're into the outdoors, Pennypack Park delivers. A paved trail makes it possible for rollerbladers, joggers and walkers to travel from Pine Road to the Delaware River. Adventurous equestrians and mountain bikers can traverse miles of unpaved trails. Athletic fields are available for soccer and softball. For those looking to commune with nature, the Park also has many beautiful scenic and picnic areas.
