Volunteers collected 11 trash bags of litter and one bag of recyclable cans during the monthly Pennypack Park cleanup on Aug. 27 at Pennypack on the Delaware.
Nineteen people took part in the community service day, which was organized by Friends of Pennypack Park and held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Pennypack on the Delaware is the recreation area at the mouth of the creek where it flows into the Delaware River. It’s accessible from State Road, just south of Rhawn Street.

Workers should wear long pants and sturdy, comfortable footwear. Bug spray and sunscreen are recommended. Those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
