I loved that there is a separate play area for smaller toddlers, which my daughter loved. I think she will get a lot more enjoyment out of this park when she is a "big kid", though! Everything was in great shape and well cared for. I highly recommend checking out this park if you have kiddos!

Amos Herr Park is a 56-acre paradise thanks to a brand new children's play area called the "dream…read morepark." I came upon it today while having a meeting in Landisville and was so impressed that I had to bring my boys after school. The itself park was donated to the Township by the late Amos Herr who was a former high school teacher and coach. His ancestors were among the earliest settlers of Landisville. The new "dream park" was almost completely financed and built by the residents of East Hempfield Township. It took them 11-days to construct the playground and it opened last year. This adorable play area includes a zip line! Here are some of the other amenities: * Soccer and baseball fields * Tennis courts * Bocci court * Basketball * Volleyball courts * Restrooms * Rental Pavilion * Large, grassy fields * Benches * Water Fountain (play area) * Dog Waste Station * There are plans to build a trail.

I had site five, which was by the river, but there is a bit of a hill to climb to get to/from the site, so if you have accessibility issues or a lot of heavy gear, stick to sites one or two. The bathroom situation is only okay. There is a building with flush toilets nearby, but it is only open from 7:30am-9pm each day, and those times aren't set in stone. Other than that, there is one port-a-potty that could stand to be serviced more frequently than is currently scheduled. Each camping site has a water spigot, a picnic table, and a fire pit, but you need to buy firewood off-site; we found some at Lowe's. You are close to a lot of scenic drives through farm country, and we saw a lot of Amish traveling by horse and buggy on our drives. Also nearby is the city of Lancaster, which is beautiful, way bigger than anticipated, and surprisingly had several Puerto Rican restaurants. All in all this park is a great home base for a trip to Lancaster, and the camping facilities are great.

The public bathroom is small and not amazing, but it's always been open when the park is open, and has the necessities.

Thank goodness for the newspaper or else I would never have known about this amazing park. Rapho…read moreCommunity Park (RCP) was dedicated back in 2008 and this 30-acre park added shamrock pavilions in 2012. The name Rapho was derived from Raphoe parish in County Donegal, Ireland thanks to the first settlers in the area who were of Scots-Irish decent. When we arrived yesterday evening, I was pleasantly surprised to see such a gorgeous park hidden off Manheim Road. I've driven by Strickler Road many times, but went past without knowing RCP was there. It has to be one of the cleanest parks I've been to, and thanks to the numerous signs posted everywhere--no smoking! Here's what else RCP has to offer: *A really, cool playground--one for the little tots and one for the older kids *Two baseball/softball fields *Soccer Field *Paved Walking Trail - not sure how long it is but I will measure it soon and update this review *Two pavilions constructed with a hemlock post and beam frame, similar to the structure of a barn. All buildings have shamrocks on them. *Large parking lot *Trash cans, recycling containers and dog waste stations *Building that houses restrooms, water fountain, Little Free Library and concession stand *Benches throughout *Several small silo-shaped shade areas *Dog Park is almost finished!

In the same area its got the community pool, the playhouse in the park, and the eicher indian museum. It is generally clean, has a nice walking trail with wood bridges, kiddie park stuff, baseball diamonds and the police pass thru reguarly. So whats my problem with it? Teens. The cops dont pass thru there because they want a nice detour. The area is a big collection point for bored kids. Here it is a monday, and they are already beating on stuff, jumping on tables and scaring off families. Wait till friday night. Theres also a skate park at the pool which is honestly too noisy.. Once a month the park hosts a motorcycle gathering in the park. I visit my parents 2 miles away and its horrible. Can you imagine living next door?

We stopped during the week, but I could imagine the parking at this area could get filled and you may have to wait for a spot.

It was a beautiful quick hike to see some impressive views.

Chickie's Rock Overlook Trail: Parking was plentiful, and I appreciated the history sign at the trailhead--it turns out this path was once a trolley line leading to an amusement park near Chickie's Rock. So you're not just walking, you're walking through history. The trail itself is wide, relatively flat, and about a 20-minute walk to the overlook if you're taking your time (we were chatting the whole way--it was Sunday morning, not a cardio day). Pro Tip: Not far from the parking lot, the trail forks. Go LEFT for the easy stroll. Go RIGHT if you want a steeper climb and some cardio. Either way, the two trails meet up again before the overlook. When you arrive, the payoff is worth it: a panoramic view of the Susquehanna River and classic Central PA scenery--rolling hills, farmland, distant ridges, train tracks running at the base, and acorns plinking down around you. Pure magic. Just note: the overlook itself requires scrambling over some big rocks to get to the railing. Sneakers or boots are a must, and it's not super friendly for little kids or anyone with mobility challenges. Bonus history fact: Chickie's Rock was actually used as a Union lookout post during the Civil War in 1863, when Confederate troops invaded PA. That blew my mind. Breezyview Overlook: From Chickie's Rock, it's a quick 4-minute drive to Breezyview Overlook. This one's a lot easier--park, take a few steps on grass, and you're there. You even get the fun perspective of looking back at Chickie's Rock and seeing where you'd just been. Parking was easy, and they had a port-a-john if needed. The view is nice, but not nearly as epic as Chickie's Rock. Then again, the best things usually require a little extra effort. Overall, this was the perfect low-impact Sunday adventure. Bring water, pack out your trash, and don't forget to smile and say hi to fellow hikers along the way. If you're looking for an accessible trail with a stunning payoff, Chickie's Rock is a must.
