This 38 acre township park and nature preserve is open to the community during daylight hours for trail hiking, picnicking, and plant and animal observation. Our chipped trails are friendly to all ages and fitness levels, including a one mile paved trail that is handicap accessible. The park offers 10 interpretive "Each One Teach One" signs. Each sign displays environmental concepts, facts and messages for each of us to pass on to someone else. Come explore our forest, historic spring house and man made pond.
Walk along the north branch of the Rose Valley Creek as it flows to the Wissahickon Watershed.

They receive 2 lessons minimum a year that connect directly with their regular classroom science and state standards. See the curriculum page for the planned course for each grade.
Other local schools may inquire if the schedule allows for field trips.

FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY!!
A local family that grew up fishing and playing hide & seek at Creepy Pond challenged us to raise $10,000 before Labor Day to help renew and restore Creepy Pond and will match every donation dollar for dollar until we reach our goal. Will you join them by making a donation to the Friends of Robbins Park? Every dollar counts.
Funds will be used to purchase an aerator and biological products to safely improve the habitat, which is a very important study area for students.
