Facilities: 10 picnic pavilions, baseball field, soccer field, public swimming pool, and children's play area Pavilions may be rented for family and group events. Call the borough office, 814-355-1501, to make reservations. Reservations are not taken until January 2 of each year for that year. *************************** We had a family reunion here on a lovely Sunday afternoon. The park isn't much--just a few pavilions set among some grassy swathes in a mostly wooded area. The pavilions were clean and well-maintained but could stand to have some extra garbage cans; ours had only one. Also, there was a family of swallows living in the rafters. We never saw the ball fields or swimming pool, but it's a pleasant and serviceable if unspectacular place for a get-together.

They also have 2 water slide areas--1 slide off the Olympic pool & 2 slides separate from pools w/their own splash pad. Lifeguards are attentive. Pools are clean (only occasional bits of grass floating on surface). They have a snack bar, but it closes much earlier than pool (2 hrs prior), so I've yet to sample it. Bathrooms & changing area are very small, because they're in a historic building--only 2 bathroom stalls & 1 shower stall & no separate changing area, just some wall hooks & benches in open area & only 1 sink. I do not believe they can alter that building. However, their snack bar is in a separate newer building. It'd be nice if they built a larger changing area w/more showers & bathroom stalls in separate building. Staff are always friendly & helpful. Great Senior rate & twilight rate! After a pool visit, you can walk across street & visit Children's Lake.
