Lake Lenape Park

Sellersville landmark history disc golf

Bucks County's biggest municipal park at 122 acres, dreamed up by Sellersville's David Cressman and built by the WPA in the 1930s, with twin Roebling suspension bridges strung over the East Branch Perkiomen. Come for the 18-hole disc golf course, the 3-plus-mile creek path, or the ice rink once the pond freezes over.

210 E Walnut St

Nockamixon State Park

Perkasie outdoors swimming disc golf

5,286 acres wrapped around the 1,450-acre Lake Nockamixon, a short drive up Route 313 from Perkasie, with boating, a swimming pool, and disc golf. Open sunrise to sunset every day of the year; the lake is a rest stop for migrating waterfowl if you'd rather bring binoculars than a boat.

Sellersville Disc Golf Course

Sellersville disc golf outdoors free

Nineteen holes threaded through the town park off Walnut Street, with a creek and pond in play on enough of them to swallow a disc if you get greedy off the tee. Concrete tee pads, three pin positions on nearly every hole, restrooms by 1 and 7, and it costs nothing to play.

1,711 acres of former farmland and woods where Neshaminy Creek winds through and divides the park into sections, starting right at the edge of town. Biking, bridle paths, boating, and disc golf, with gates open 8 a.m. to sunset every day of the year.
