Pennypacker Park:

Location
Pennypacker Park (32.27 acres) is located in Haddonfield. It is bounded by Kings Highway, Park Boulevard and Grove Street.



Bodies of Water within the Park
Cooper River, Hopkins Pond and Driscoll Pond.

Pennypacker Park is the site of the Hadrosaurus Faulkii Leidey which is listed on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places.

In 1858, William Foulke discovered the world's first nearly-complete skeleton of a dinosaur. Today, located where a suburban street dead ends against the deep woods of Pennypacker Park, the historic site is marked with a modest commemorative stone. Just beyond the stone the ground drops away into the steep ravine where the bones of Hadrosaurus foulkii were originally excavated on the eve of the Civil War.
