Confirmed from Prophecy Creek Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park with walking trails, a manor that hosts special events, a pond with a bridge, and a gazebo.
What runners say about Prophecy Creek Park
“Amazing, awesome, breathtaking, cozy, beautiful, and that's the outside.”
This park is located on Skippack Pike (Rt.73) in the Ambler-Blue Bell area of Montgomery County. Located on the park grounds is the Manor House which can be reserved for catered affairs. Their is a large parking lot with plenty of spaces. It is beautifully landscaped with a large pond with a bridge crossing and gazebo.
Great for a family photo shoot or to just walk the grounds. There is even a reception room for parties.
Entered this park one nice fall evening, the drive up was to the parking lot. At first glance not much. Parents arrive with their children and disappeared behind the treeline where a very large soccer field was located. The other side of the lot is a building nicely landscaped with "Guest Entrance" to The Manor House.
Beautiful little park in Blue Bell, PA. Take a little walk around or have a seat under a tree and relax a while. You will probably see some small planes as they head to nearby Wings Field, but mostly quiet and relaxing. Manor house next door is private property and a beautiful setting for weddings or other events.
