I was about to recommend the Nature Center at Green Lane park (it would have been ideal, as there are O maps for the area), but I just checked that it is closed.  Peace Valley in Bucks County has a very nice Nature Center, but alas no known O maps:

The John Aubudon Center at Mill Grove is quite nice, and I think there may be nearby places to run O:

You could also contact the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education which has the advantage of being on a map!
