What Is Perkasie Park?
Our private park has been a part of the small town of Perkasie since 1882, when the park's location was used for social gatherings and religious meetings. Today, the Perkasie Park Association operates the park as a non-denominational seasonal facility. Learn more about what the park is doing today and its fascinating history.

This clip from the Bucks County Intelligencer from August 1872 describes the park at the end, but not before it describes the new village of Perkasie. Click to see newspaper image.
