Lorimer was married to Belle Burford, with whom he had a daughter, Edith, and a son, publisher George Horace Lorimer.
He is credited with promoting or discovering a large number of American writers, e.g. Jack London.
The park, a bequest from the late George Horace Lorimer (long-time editor-in-chief of The Saturday Evening Post), is connected to Pennypack Park in Philadelphia County, and the Pennypack Creek runs through both parks.
