Rose Tree Park is a place where one can walk, recycle, plant a garden, enjoy free concerts in the summer and think of peace on earth while looking at the decorative lights offered during the winter holiday season.


One of the treats of summer is being able to go to a free concert in Rose Tree Park. Situated under the sky, and then stars after nightfall one can enjoy live entertainment from many area performers. Bands and dance troupes do their thing on the stage of the outdoor amphitheater while entertaining people as they sit in their lawn chairs or on blankets on the grass terraces in front of the stage. Some people make a real outing with these concerts by bringing dinner, then enjoying a show. Other people make it a place to gather with friends and family members. It can be a destination for a date, or it can provide a comfortable environment for those lone lovers of live entertainment. It is a wonderful alternative to sitting in front of a TV.


Shortly after Thanksgiving as the holiday season gets underway, the park has its annual tree lighting ceremony which kicks off the season for nightly displays of lights in honor of the peace of the season.


On the corner of the property you may notice a closed up stone building. Well that is the Rose Tree Tavern. In 2004 it was moved inland around 200 feet to make way for a future expansion of the intersection it had been built on in the late 1700's. A heartfelt thanks to the powers that be, that saved this historical building from the wrecking ball. For more info check here www.pspe.org/delco/rosetree.pdf


So whenever you choose or you just happen to be on the outskirts of Media on Route 252, take a few minutes to stop and enjoy the peace and calm that this green setting can offer.
