    I offered to walk my friends' dogs, to help during a tough time. I am so glad I reached out,…read morebecause they suggested I take them to nearby East Goshen Township Park, and my favor to others turned into such a fun trip for me today! By a little past 3pm this place was already very crowded. Joggers, walkers, strollers and dogs were all over the walking trails. The playground was mobbed. Though it was unseasonably warm for early March, there were only two people on the basketball courts, no one on the tennis courts, and no one on the ballfields. But parking lots were full with playground- and trail-goers. I have to say these trails are pretty fun, and the playground is pretty bomb. So I fully understand why so many people were hanging there! The trail meanders around the perimeter of the park, with pretty Chester County landscape views. It is somewhat curvy and hilly, so if you want straight and flat, look elsewhere. My friends' dogs had a ball. My son, too, had a blast on the playground! He loved the swings and the sand pit. I can't get him into sand at the actual beach, but he loves sand pits. This one is very large and has cool backhoe type ride-on devices for the kids to operate to shovel and dig. There were also two huge sand funnel stations, and a bunch of standard beach toys lying around. The sand was clean of debris, not even a fallen leaf, which was very cool, and impressive for this time of year. There are a number of playstructures, with all kinds of fun apparatuses. Slides, swings, climbing walls, net climbs, puzzles on the walls of the clubhouse niches, merry-go-round, (for lack of a known name) gyrating stand-on devices, and the cup seat that does a 360. Also, a metal web swing, bouncy rides, and the pièce de résistance, a magnificent flying saucer attached to a friggin' zipline!!! IDK how this got approved because it is potentially dangerous, but man, this is the coolest thing ever! The kids were in line constantly to ride it, and you could tell who is there every day practicing because some were masters at making that thing zip back and forth. They had about 45' of line to travel, and a ramp from which to launch. So awesome! My only playground complaint is that it's not fenced in, but otherwise this is an amazing place! Parents were all attentive, courteous, and looking out for one another's kids. One group ordered like 6 pizzas to be delivered to the playground pavilion, where they had a picnic dinner. Very fun!

    Absolutely beautiful here! Family friendly. Dog Friendly. Welcomes all park goers. Trails. Beach…read moreVollyball. Great playground. Picnic areas. So much todo!

    This is a pretty crappy little park, wedged between Rte 202 and Conestoga Road. It consists of a…read moresingle trail that starts and ends at the parking lot, winding through mostly wooded areas, but also over a fire swampy place. See the pictures for details. There is constant and pretty loud traffic noise from Rte 202, which is a highway in this area. The enclosed nature of this place means you won't see any of the deer that are across 202 near the abandoned Aegon office building (another review, another day) or any other significant wildlife. This place just seems like an afterthought, something to do with some undeveloped land, a place to eat your lunch or make out in your car with that certain special co-worker. What prevents a one-star rating? The trail does have inclines, so you can get a decent walk. You can do the whole circuit in less than 10 minutes at a brisk pace. That, and somebody made the effort to label some of the trees. Also, it's so close to my workplace that it's hard to ignore. There's a decent stream that winds its way around which is nicely distracting. Still, with the traffic noise, you can't really feel close to nature. Oh, btw, no bike riding allowed, or golf, pets, alcohol, and be gone by dusk. So if your hamster wanted to bike to the fireswamp area to practice his night putting with a sixpack of Bud Ice, consider finding a Plan B.

    This is one of my favorite little parks, but it is super basic. There is a single trail that loops…read morearound, a little under a half mile. It crosses a nice stream twice, with good solid wide bridges, and there's a cool thin boardwalk that goes over a swampy area. It's pretty neat to see how the swampy area changes throughout the season. Like the other reviewer said, it's right next to 202, so the road noise is very prevalent. There's nothing for kids either. There are about 3 picnic tables not far from the parking lot, but they're the closest to 202. There are also a couple benches around the trail. The park is well maintained. It's a nice park for a quick walk to calm down after work.

    Conestoga Trail Ecology Park - WTF?  The only children's thing in the park, all by itself.  Looks like somebody just abandoned it here.

    Intro to Rock Climbing with Valley to Summit on September 18, 2022…read more This was my second trip to Chickies Rock with VTS and it was wonderful! There were only 5 of us, so plenty of time to climb. Our Guide, Bob, was so patient, engaged and informative. I learned a lot of great things that I had not known before about clothing, ropes and technique. Bob was so patient with me and was there with his " green pointer" to help me over the tough spots. You should know that I am 74 years old and tho I have climbed indoors for a few years, my stamina was not that of the youngsters who were there! Nonetheless, it was a great time! I highly recommend Valley to Summit, this being my 3 rd trip with them. They Rock!

    We were scheduled to do a 1/2 day ice hike at Ricketts Glen. I had spoken to the owner Dave and…read morelet him know of my disabilities. He asked a few questions, then determined that it should be OK for me to go on the hike. Shortly before the hike we received an email from Dave saying that because of the warm weather the trip would not have as much ice as it normally does. He offered to reschedule or refund our money if we wanted, but also said we could go if we wanted. We wanted. When I got there Dave and the guides were fantastic. Very personable. They were helpful but without being intrusive. One of them carried one of my forearm canes in his backpack in case I needed it. (This was to have one hand free for the ice axe.) The hike was great. At the end of the hike I asked one of the guides if he thought I could do the repelling they offer... he conferred with the owner and the lead repeller guide, and they agreed that I would be allowed to do that in the Spring. I highly recommend Valley to Summit for a great time. I look forward to a full day ice hike in February.
