Pennypack Park 100
www.friendsofpennypackpark.org/
Pennypack Park was established in 1905 by ordinance of the City of Philadelphia to insure the protection of Pennypack Creek and the preservation of the surrounding land. The park consists of 1,600 acres of woodlands, meadows, wetlands and fields.
Pennypack Park is the green heart of Northeast Philadelphia; a natural world in the midst of urban development. Throughout the park's woodlands, meadows, wetlands and fields you will see many species of birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians which have been native to this area for thousands of years.
The rich history of Pennypack Park began with the Lenni-Lenape Indians who hunted and fished along the creek and from whom the park takes its name. In 1683 William Penn acquired the title to this land from the Lenni-Lenape people.
