Penn Treaty Park

This is one of my favorite parks to go to, this park has been wonderful since it started being taken care of a few years back, it’s always busy with people exercising families playing with their kids on the playground or people just having a picnic. They hold special events here from time to time and the community really gets involved. The lawns are maintainedvery well. They have great gardens in an excellent trail to walk on while it’s not that big. From time to time, you will get some transit traffic and homeless people, but they do a fairly good job of cleaning up. It is nice and it does lead to other trails north and south. The South Trail is something that you have to follow around the casino you will end up on a sidewalk that walks under the Ben Franklin Bridge, and then head all the way to South Philadelphia On a newly opened asphalt trail for bikes and walkers, joggers, runners, etc. the north trail is more challenging. It goes on and off you’ll have to walk the sidewalk and then in the street on the bike path which leads to the new development north bank. There is a trail there that goes around the complex and if you follow along the river, you will find the trail pick up there. Also, it’s a little challenging. It’s not perfect, but it is walkable. This is one of my go to places. There is a lot of history here and a lot more to be made.

We made the best of it but I didn't think it was worth crossing the bridge for. It is absolutely not Central Park, not in any way, shape or form. Parking is nearly impossible- we got extremely lucky as someone pulled out right when we pulled in, for the 4th time. There's really not much to do. It's almost misleading. It looks like there's a lot of paths but there isn't. Certain areas are also covered in litter and glass so be careful with your children and pets. There are also steep drops that aren't gated or blocked off. I highly recommend you don't come here at night. I just watched a documentary and lets just say had I known the things that have happened here, I would have skipped it altogether. I love nature, but this place is shady and dirty.

Penn Treaty Park is a whole new vibe compared to when I was a kid. Back then, it was more of a simple,spot—nothing too flashy or fancy. Now? It’s been seriously upgraded with cleaner paths, better landscaping, and those killer river views that make you stop and stare. It’s like the city finally gave it the glow-up it deserved. Watching My Daughter run around there made me realize how much the place has evolved from a quiet patch of grass to a lively, welcoming space where families actually want to hang. Philly’s grown up, and so has Penn Treaty—thankfully for the better.

I absolutely loved Penn Treaty Park! The vibe here is amazing you can take a walk, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy the view of the bridge. I felt safe, relaxed, and completely refreshed. Such a peaceful spot!

Great and spacious park next the Delaware River Trail. It si nice place to see the sun Rise. I hope Delaware River development Org need to revive the River water. It seems so dirt y it need to revive the water quality.
