About this field

Flying field of Northeast Philadelphia Radio Control Club (NEPRCC) (AMA club #1632).

Not mentioned on club website; club map references the Delaware Valley Veterans Home (Southampton Rd) next to Benjamin Rush State Park, so this may be an access address for the same park field. Nearest FRIA (club's Benjamin Rush FRIA) is ~1.8 km away.
