This 230+ acre oasis of woods and meadows, in the suburbs of eastern Abington Township, attracts visitors to its natural beauty year-round. A bequest from the late George Horace Lorimer (former Editor-in-Chief of The Saturday Evening Post), Lorimer Park is a haven for wildlife under a canopy of huge trees. Activities include hiking, picnicking, bird and animal watching, horseback riding (with your own horse), and, in the winter, sledding and cross-country skiing. For the angler, Pennypack Creek is stocked, in-season, with trout by the PA Fish & Boat Commission. Overlooking the creek is majestic Council Rock where, legend says, Native Americans use to meet to plan their activities. It now serves as a beautiful and popular backdrop for wedding photographs. New to the facility, a 1.8 mile section of the former Fox Chase-Newtown rail line has been converted to a recreational trail.  This crushed stone path provides level hiking and biking, and views of the creek valley along the entire western edge of the park.  Open daily 8 am to sunset.

We offer hiking, horseback riding, picnicking, and fishing.
