Bambi loves it here

This state park just so happens to be minutes from my home which is great! I come here every so often to ride my bike and walk my dog. They have a few trails, a garden area where you purchase/rent a plot and a bathroom facility. This place used to be a ghost town where I could let my dog off her leash without the threat of another dog being anywhere in the vicinity but as time goes by more people are becoming aware of this hidden gem.

From the moment you enter you feel like you are anywhere but Northeast Philly! The grounds are pretty expansive with a variety of landscape design. It's a gorgeous place to wander on a nice day. It's also the ideal spot for a photo shoot - tons of backdrop options!! They do have limited visiting hours so check online before you plan to go - and you will need a ticket. I went on one of their few 'Open Saturdays.' Tickets were $15 each and for a two hour time period. I specifically went to have some photos taken and was not disappointed with them! Stunning backgrounds and lighting. Visitors are also welcome to bring a picnic lunch and sit out by the water, which I did. There is so much space which makes it easy for social distancing, though it wasn't crowded at all. Parking is easy, too. They have a large grassy area fir cars to park on. I believe they have a restroom for guests too, though I didn't use it. This is such a beautiful spot, I will definitely be back in the spring to see the flowers blooming!

This is a great place in which to get some fresh air and exercise. There is a paved path that…read moreencircles the main area in the front of the park; a small playground; and in the rear, "off the beaten path" trails, if you will. Deer, rabbits and a variety of birds are frequently present. What I really like about the park is when the sunlight hits the trees just so, it's really beautiful, and, the multiple little hills make for a good leg workout. The main path is only about a mile and a quarter around, so a couple of goes and you've done a few miles.

What a cute little place!…read more This past weekend they had their first Easter Food Truck Festival, and I do not think that they anticipated the crowd that they received!!! Not only could the parking lot not handle the cars, but the rest of the area couldn't handle the crowds lol! This is a historic farm, that was taken over by the city/county, and turned into a historic site/public mixed use property. They have a very nice jungle gym where kids can play on! Sadly my kid is still a little too young for that... So they have a parking lot, which they used for the food trucks, so everyone had to park on the grass, and they ran out of space lol! The food trucks were also way too close together, you didn't know what line you were on half the time lol! They ran a super cute Easter Egg hunt for the kids, and it was 20 seconds long lol! They definitely didn't expect these crowds! All in all a very very cute little park, its just not large enough to handle the crowds they had...

This small community park on 2nd Street Pike, Upper Southampton, PA, was once the farmstead of the…read moreRichard Leedom family, whose people can be traced back to William Penn and the American Revolution. The farmhouse has been beautifully restored, and carriage house rebuilt into a spacious meeting room for use by groups willing to pay a modest fee to the association that maintains the property. Dedicated in 1975, the amenities are modest, but still offer room for walking trails, frisbee golf, and open fields for games and and overnight camping by local scout troops. There are BBQ pits for cooking and covered concrete pads for meals and organized activities. I spent a night in a tent with my son here when he was a Cub Scout. The park is named for Chief Tanamend (or Tammeny), the leader of the Turtle Clan of the Lenni Lenapi Native American tribe. It was he who made peace with William Penn at nearby Penn Treaty Park, just at the edge of Philadelphia on the Delaware River. Some called him a saint for his amiableness toward the early settlers in the late 17th Century. His life and death were celebrated on May 1st annually, first in Philly, and then in most of the original colonies. He has been forgotten by many, except those who know and honor the history of this area.

This is a very small park, but if you just want a quick jaunt into nature it's not bad…read more The parking situation is a bit confusing. There's two main parking lots, both of which seem to lead to large fields and picnic areas. However if you take a short walk behind the park offices you'll find that there are additional trails to hike along, but keep in mind none of these trails are very long. One plus is that this park is never all that crowded, so if you like solitude you'll have a good time. I've only ever come alone, but if you were to bring kids there's a playground for them and large fields to kick a ball around. This isn't a bad park, just not my favorite.
