The park hosts one of the largest community gardens in the area. Gardeners may rent a plot in the community garden to grow their own flowers and vegetables.
Benjamin Rush State Park is located near Abington, Ambler and Ardmore
Benjamin Rush State Park offers picnic areas with tables and grills. No reservations are required, but alcohol is prohibited.
Biking enthusiasts should be aware that the park offers a 3.5-mile paved trail suitable for all skill levels. However, it's important to note there are no mountain biking trails available here.
While cycling is permitted on designated paths only, these routes provide scenic views of local flora and fauna. Remember always to respect wildlife habitats during your ride.
The terrain within this area can vary greatly; some sections may require more effort than others due to slight inclines or uneven surfaces.
Riders must adhere strictly to posted signs regarding restricted areas as certain zones in the park are off-limits for bikes.
Remember also that helmets are mandatory under state law for cyclists aged below 12 years old while highly recommended otherwise too.
Lastly, ensure you're prepared with water bottles and snacks since food services aren't provided inside the premises but picnic facilities exist if needed after your bike journey!
The park offers birdwatching opportunities with over 100 species recorded, including hawks and songbirds. Bird blinds are available for use.
