Simpson Park — Attraction in Upper Allen Township

This park is extremely pretty in the spring and fall time. There is plenty of area for blankets and picnics along the creek..or up behind if you follow the walking trail.

After you cross Lisburn Road and go under the railroad bridge look for an opening in the guard rail to the left. There is a blue sign for the Yellow Breeches on the right just across from...

This is our favorite park to end a nice tubing trip. I have been taking my trash with me when I leave, but i believe there to be a few trash cans located on the creek side of the lot. Very clean place overall. At peak times, parking is extremely limited as it's a popular spot. If you're planning on dropping a vehicle off, do it in the morning.
