We are lucky you brave the weather for us

I'll never forget my mothers scream when she was dipping her toes in the water and a crayfish walked over them.

Where the fireplace was, it was a picnic Pavillion at one time. We would hang out there as teenagers in late 70's, early 80's. There also was a restroom building behind the Pavillion up near the hill. Brought back many memories seeing your video. Thanks for sharing.

Another good one Tom

Other side of that parking lot was "Little City" . . . . make-out spot back in the day!!

For many years, I walked 6 miles a day through the Pennypack over my lunch hour

I did this too! The most refreshing scenic route!

There were Park Rangers and the Philadelphia Police Explorers present the nights the concerts were in the park. That fireplace was a hangout at night for me and my friends back in the 1990s. We had a lot of fires in that fireplace during the spring and summer nights back then. We gathered up fallen tree branches for firewood before sunset and would hang out there with a fire burning until 10 or 11PM. I did a lot of hanging out with friends in that area of the park back then in the 1990s.

I haven't been in Pennypack in a while, and i live up the street from it.

Awwww a possum!! I’ve never seen one in person. I’d totally freak out if that came out the bushes unexpectedly 😂 Awesome video as always Tom! Love seeing these places and all the history. Beautiful park. Absolutely hate litter - I wish people would be more considerate

“Back in the 60s, on the other side of the creek there was an open area for picnics, with several barbecue pits and a large open-sided shelter with a huge stone fireplace for gatherings….. The shelter is no longer there, it's wooden beams removed, but the huge fireplace still remains It stands like a castle ruin or a tombstone of times past”… Janet M.Gibson (her diary - website)

The Troll under the bridge

Around 4:00 - it was not a bench, its was a spring. People drank that water up until the late 80s then it dried up

When you say Cresco and Rowland I think riding stables I went to in the 60s. Lee’s?

This part of the creek is relatively close to my house and the clientele that swim and trash the park is disturbing, animals.

All of us residents that live down near the waterfalls we don't call that Pennypack park anymore we call it Puerto Rican Wildwood...
