Friends of Penn Treaty Park

Friends of Penn Treaty Park is an entirely volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. After years of informal volunteer efforts, a small group of community-minded citizens had a vision of a safer and cleaner Penn Treaty Park. In 2005, the group organized a grass-roots effort to preserve and promote the park as a positive green space for family and community. The Friends of Penn Treaty Park began by overseeing refurbishments of park monuments, as well as the addition of new benches and playground equipment. The volunteer-driven organization has worked tirelessly to beautify the park, expand its tree canopy, and create vibrant green spaces like our pollinator garden. The group also advocated for improvements that promote sustainability and accessibility, such as current efforts to achieve arboretum accreditation and expand waterfront trails. Today, we serve as stewards of the park, hosting free, family-friendly events, from outdoor concerts to community clean-ups. Through environmental conservation and public programming, we ensure that Penn Treaty Park remains a welcoming, safe, and thriving green space for all. Join us in preserving this historic landmark and making it a place for future generations to enjoy!
