The Sanctuary consists of 119 acres of wetlands, woodlands and meadows and is dedicated to wildlife habitat and public use. Discover the history, geology, wildlife, plant life and habitats of the basin by walking along the interpretive trail and visiting one of the many education stations along the way. The sky over Black Rock is a flyway, or air highway, for birds that migrate up and down the East Coast. Our wetlands attract waterfowl and provide for other plants and animals.
In 2011, the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources honored the Chester County Parks Department with the 2nd Annual Green Park Award, recognizing excellence in the green and sustainable park practices at Black Rock Sanctuary.
