Ridley Creek State Park encompasses more than 2,606 acres of Delaware County woodlands and meadows.
The gently rolling terrain of the park, bisected by Ridley Creek, is only 16 miles from center city Philadelphia and is an oasis of open space in a growing urban area.
Ridley Creek State Park offers a wide variety of recreation and environmental education programs. Programs are offered April to November. Through hands-on activities, guided nature walks, historical tours, and volunteer trail maintenance programs, participants gain appreciation, understanding, and develop a sense of stewardship toward natural and cultural resources. Special events, guided nature walks, and roving naturalist activities offer fun ways to explore and learn about the park.
Curriculum-based environmental education programs are available to schools and organized groups. Call the park office to schedule a group program. A variety of professional development workshops are offered for teachers.
