Abstract:
Located in the northeastern region of Philadelphia, Tacony Creek Park is a long and narrow park comprising approximately 300 acres of land along Tacony Creek- roughly half of which is designated natural lands. Established by city ordinance in 1915, this park runs from the Tookany Park corridor in Montgomery County and is bounded on the south by Frankford Creek. Tacony Creek Park operates a number of recreational facilities as an integral part of the community, and has also been home to the Juniata Golf Course since 1930. Within Tacony Creek Park exists miles of recreational trails, and is home to one of the few urban meadows in the Philadelphia area.
