History

In 1939, were dedicated as the Upper Perkiomen Valley Park by the Montgomery County Commissioners. Previously, in 1929, planning for a dam built across Perkiomen Creek began, although its actual construction occurred from 1954 to 1957. This area, called the Green Lane Reservoir, was opened for public recreational use in 1959 by the Philadelphia Suburban Water Company. Recreational easement rights were later turned over to Montgomery County, which led to the 1983 creation of Green Lane Reservoir Park. The two parks were later merged into Green Lane Park in 1998.

The Upper Perkiomen Bird & Wildlife Festival, an annual event promoting education on conservation and nature, was first held in 2012 and has occurred every year since. It is estimated that over 3,000 people attend each year.
June through August, a summer concert series takes place in the Green Lane Park Band Shell. A variety of local musicians are invited to perform, including original and tribute acts.
Every October, the Haunted Campground Hayride event is hosted in the park in celebration of Halloween.
