I come here very often. I love taking the trails for long walks. There are some hidden picnic areas throughout the trails if you want to get away from the tables at the main area.

This place is great for all ages. We love to come here and have a picnic by the stream and then go for a lovely hike on their trails. They have a nice pond for fishing for the kids. And the mill is very interesting and informative. A great outing.

Once, long ago, the Wawa-Concordville railroad went through here! It's an ancient, well-preserved piece of Delaware County history. And there are several other historic buildings, right up the street. Keep in mind that this park also has a very small, stocked fishing hole/pond where you can rent a fishing pole. It's very picturesque so don't forget your camera AND something... More
