Penn Valley Park was a small amusement park in Bucks County, Pa. It was located on the Lincoln Highway about 1 mile north of the Philadelphia city limits.
Advertised as "the largest free amusement park in the world", it had a large swimming pool with sliding boards and diving boards, a kiddie pool, and various swings, etc. for the children. It also had some rides - the Whip, the Caterpillar, and a Ferris Wheel to name a few.
It also included a restaurant and a tourist camp.
The park closed around 1934, when the owner, George Welsh, became ill. The swimming pool stood until the 1950's.
Penn Valley Mobile Home Park now sits on the site of the amusement park.
