    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!

We walked about a mile loop around the trail, thought it is about 3 miles total. There is so much wildlife around! The park is so well-maintained and clean. It is such a pleasure to walk around! The main trails are either pavement or gravel so it is very easy to get around. This park is an easy hike or good place for a jog. We also saw many people walking their dogs or enjoying the scenery. There is a huge parking lot, bathrooms, water fountains, and trash cans scattered throughout the park. I also saw a pavilion or two. The park is right next to the Delaware River, so there are many places to get great photos as well! On the trail, there were many maple trees, many types of grasses, many birds including gray catbirds, and some mushrooms. This is a great park for birdwatching or nature photography due to the amount of biodiversity. If you have a chance, you should totally check out this park!

Plenty of paved, unpaved, gravel and dirt trails that offer easy hikes throughout the park. Pavilions, picnic areas, playground equipment, a volley ball pit and pool all scattered about the 300+ acres of parkland. It does get crowded on the weekends in summer but weekdays you can catch a nice walk in with relatively minimal human interaction. NSP is well maintained and has plenty of facilities. Perfect for a quiet weekday walk or a day at the park with the family. For me, it reminds me of a younger time when my work ethic was formed and my love of nature began.

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.
