Penn Treaty Park is a small park on the western bank of the Delaware River, in the

Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is located on Beach Street, near

its intersection with Delaware Avenue.
The land that is now the park was part of the Lenape village of Shackamaxon, where
William Penn famously entered into a treaty of peace with Tamanend, a chief of the
Lenape Turtle Clan in 1683.
