Started walking the Park again, it’s always cleaner the further upstream you go, it’s a lot cleaner in Fox Chase but Lincoln High area is an easier walk. I see they are trying to crack down on the people that abuse it so that is nice. My only complaint , and it’s everywhere is with som bike riders don’t get that they are a vehicle and if they come up behind you they have to yield to walkers.

Super Cool Spot by the old train bridge. Nice comfortable walk, a little wet but not so bad it wasn't enjoyable. Perfect place to pull off and take a break from the hustle and hustle of the town.

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!

This place is a nice place to walk. I like it. If you're into walking around with a big giant stream to your side this place is for you. Bring your puppy, bring your special friend, bring your kiddos. Bring your pet alligator whatever floats your boat. Lots to do here folks.

Visited this park recently and charmed by its beauty. The pathways are great for both walking and biking, offering a serene escape amidst nature. What's especially commendable is the cleanliness; there's minimal trash, making it evident that both the management and visitors respect the environment. Highly recommend for a peaceful outdoor experience!

Great park in East/North-East Philly. The atmosphere is great, and you'll encounter a fair number of people. Very dog friendly as well. There is some trash around which takes away from the park's beauty, and be careful of glass shards if you choose to go off the paved trail.

My favourite part of the park is the creek. I found it to be a calming and healing experience to just walk along the creek or sit on the big rocks at its edge and just listen to the sounds of nature. Please be careful while trying to get down to the creek, as the trail can be dangerous and slippery depending on the weather.
