Penn Treaty Park sits on the land where William Penn negotiated a peace treaty with the Lenape Indians. A commemorative statue of Penn placed near the entrance welcomes visitors to this neighborhood park. Family-friendly events like an annual fishing derby, a kite festival, open-air concerts, outdoor movies, and holiday celebrations are hosted by community organizations such as the Friends of Penn Treaty Park and the Fishtown Neighbors Association. The park has designated picnic areas, well-maintained playground equipment, plentiful parking, and trails where dogs and their owners can walk or jog along the banks of the Delaware River.
