Penn Treaty Park
Historic Site

Penn Treaty Park covers seven acres of Delaware River waterfront located just off North Delaware Avenue. The park features open green space, picnic areas, a playground, a spectacular view of the Ben Franklin Bridge, and many seasonal community events. The local legend is that William Penn and a Lenape clan entered into a peace agreement under an elm tree in the center of the park. That original "treaty elm" has since been replaced, but the event is commemorated with an obelisk and plaque.
