Fairmount Park
Pennypack Park
Follow in the footsteps of John James Audubon and Alexander Wilson, fathers of American ornithology, when you watch for birds along Pennypack Creek.

Check out the storytelling and outdoor classes held in the outdoor ampitheater, or just browse through the new reference library. Bring a picnic and delight in the beautiful natural setting.

The Pennypack Environmental Center, one of two nature centers administered by the Fairmount Park Commission, was originally dedicated as a bird sanctuary in 1958.
