We really enjoyed this trail today, first time there!…read more The trail is relatively flat and very well maintained. There is a big loop around the lake that my dogs and I took, which is nice because it's a good walk without being too long or too short and you don't need to turn around. Lots of winding path areas so you feel pretty secluded. If you have reactive dogs you can easily step aside in many areas to let others pass. I'm excited to bring my dogs back here.

Great playground. Lot to do. Good amount of coverage for windy days…read more Sounds great right? It is. Well worth the trip. The missing star isn't on account of the place but rather the people. It amazes me the sheer amount of people glued to their phones and then look around in panic when they can't find their children. Ffs, Watch your kids, it's a playground not a permanent babysitter. If you think I'm being obnoxious, just people watch when you come here. You'll be surprised at the accuracy of the above... -J

Maybe it is me being nostalgic, but I love this trail!! Growing up on Banbury for most of my life,…read moreI have always been within walking distance of it and I have been on it so many times. Going for walks, jogging, running up the large hill to the playset or to sled, exploring the woods, you name it! It is a decent sized trail too, roughly 2 miles (about a mile each way) and it is very scenic too going alongside woods, over streams and past large fields too. There is a grovel parking lot at the Banbury entrance available in the development and the other finishes lot is across the street at the Enos B Godshall Park. All in all, it is a great trial to catch up with friends, go for a peaceful walk/or jog, bike, walk dogs, whatever you want to do. It is definitely worth a check out.

Covered Bridge Park gets its name from its proximity to Pine Valley Covered Bridge on the edge of…read morethis community green. Its nearly 15 acres has a kids playground, ball fields, fishing pond, gazebo and restrooms (currently closed due to Covid-19). It is a pleasant public space designed for family use. On this beautiful Sunday in June it was quiet. Parents with young children were primarily at the playground, while kids old enough to handle a fishing rod were practicing their casting into the pond. Teenagers were seen farther out along the trails congregating in small groups. To each his own. We walked along the paved pathway over Pine Run Creek to be able to reach Old Ironhill Road and the northern approach to the covered bridge. There was some traffic, so we waited until it was clear and safe to walk through the hemlock and pine span to to the end. From there, we walked along Pine Run a bit to see what flora and fauna it had to offer. Didn't see much, but the gurgling stream was relaxing. Completing the circuit, we strolled back into the center of the park where the car was parked. Our plan was to go next to Peace Valley Park, but when we arrived it was so crowded we decided not to stop because it would have been impossible to maintain safe social distancing, and so many there were not wearing masks. Just not worth the risk.

We went to Knapp Road Bark Park but it was temporarily closed and there was a sign to go to this…read morebark park instead. We used Google Maps to find this bark park and it was the hardest thing to find. It led us to some business parking lot and eventually read reviews on here for guidance. Recommend putting in KoKo or Santander Bank that's right next to Assi Plaza then driving all the way back to the last parking lot. You should be able to see the bark park entrance once there. There's two sections separated by large and small dogs. The grass surrounding the areas aren't maintained well but once inside the park, it's fine. My pup went into the small area and no one was there which we liked since the big area had a couple of big dogs which the parents weren't really paying attention to. Definitely prefer Knapp Road bark park better but not bad to come here while it's temporarily closed

Parking is a little far from the farm itself, but there is a paved walking trail to get to the farm. Once we were there, we headed to the farm. Once inside the homestead we were met with a tour guide. They were very well educated about the property and stories there. The buildings were fascinating. There is so much history, and artifacts inside. All the way down to the painting. I appreciate how they preserved alot of the original. We walked around the exterior gardens. The flowers were stunning. It was so cute to see the bees feeding on the pollen. There was a pretty good size gardens that had flowers and vegetables. The property itself was very clean and well managed. The bathrooms were also available and well maintained. I recommend dressing for the weather, and the interior can become hot. I highly recommend this as something to do when killing time or looking for something to do in the local area. It was very fun and fascinating. Takes about an hour or less depending on how many people. When we were there, there were not too many people. Maybe 1-2 other families.

Peter Wentz Farmstead has been on my list a few years now. Finally got a chance to visit this…read moreweekend. PWF is located inside a park similar to the Pennsylvania Colonial Plantation near me (Inside Ridley Creek State Park), however PWF is FREE admission while the PA Colonial Plantation charges. Two volunteers in the barn had amazing information on the oxen-in-training. The man was giving a very cool bovine lecture, and the woman was engaging as anything, especially with my child. The young man dressed as the Belsnickel brought said name Wikipedia page to life and had a very historically accurate costume. He had treats for the kids, but my kindergartener was a tad scared (not too scared to take the candy though). These cool folklore touches go deeper than anything I've seen at the PA Colonial Plantation, and I feel lucky to have been there to meet him! The volunteers in the Visitor's Center were very welcoming and informative! They even had free ginger cookies to cheer everyone up on a cold day! This Visitor's Center is much more sophisticated than the PA Colonial Plantation. They have didactics and video on the site history. It was too crowded to watch this visit, but I will catch it next time. Both Colonial historic sites have volunteers in period costumes standing by to give history lessons on farm life in that period household. Both sites have animals to visit (sheep, chickens, turkeys and oxen), although PA Colonial Plantation also has pigs and a horse or two. Both sites offer house tours, festival days, special activities, and summer camps. The quality of information and enthusiasm of the volunteers is equal at both sites; all of these historian-volunteers are amazing, with loads of fun information to teach. I know the variety and number of demonstrations is always more than a handful at PA Colonial Plantation fest days, which I expect with paid admission. What is offered free at PWF is impressive, but not as varied and prolific as PA Colonial Plantation (such as their blacksmith shop, rifle demos, beer making, pottery making, etc). Again, at the colonial plantation near me, I expect to spend a couple hours on all the demonstrations and activities. At PWF this weekend, we probably had about an hour's worth of browsing IF we had been able to brave cold winds for the long line awaiting a house tour. I know the Fall Festival and other festivals days here offer a lot more to do, but it seems to get overcrowded due to its free admission, and without a fence or natural boundary to enclose the farmstead, they can't control that flow of people very well. That would be my hesitation for future visits. Even in Jan freezing temps with fierce winds, loads of people were there, even very small toddlers. Idk if the weather made people cranky or not, but the crowd here was MISERABLE. We DelCo folks are not pushy, sullen, and crabby when we visit our plantation (which is actually also closed all winter because of the cold), but boy were these MontCo peeps rude! The volunteers are so sweet and kind but not a single visitor returned my smiles, and I got many scowls instead. One senior visitor blocked me in the hallway of the information office, preventing me from getting to my child. When I said "excuse me" to get past, she very reluctantly got out of my way, with a giant dirty look. Ten stars for the volunteers and free offerings; negative star for the local d!ckheads who visit.
