Join us at our annual celebration, which will focus on our nature-themed programs. There will be open boating on the Poquessing Creek and Delaware River, so come explore the water on one of Glen Foerd’s kayaks, canoes, or rowboats.
*Boating will take place from 12- 3:30 due to tidal changes.
On land, you can enjoy educational activities about bees and arts and crafts using upcycled and natural materials with Kids Art Shop, or play around in our Lily P.A.D.S. playground while enjoying some hands-on activities. We are proud to host partner organizations with activities from Riverfront North, Tacony Lab, Wissahickon Environmental Center, and the Pennypack Environmental Center.
Shop wares from local artists, such as Hinch Worm Art, Meg Lemieur Art, and Taiku. Grab a bite to eat from the food truck or a sweet treat from Mister Softee.
Bring a blanket or some chairs and enjoy the views of the Delaware River and Poquessing Creek. Tour the house and investigate the grounds with our QR audio tour kiosks located throughout the park. Make sure to bring sunscreen, water, and anything else you might need to enjoy the outdoors!
