The only downside about Group site is that there are no showers in the bathhouse and there are no water pumps anywhere! In the park, there is a lake where you can swim, kayaks that you can rent, and the visitor center even has fishing poles that you can borrow! The Falls trail is what attracts most people to this great park. It's about a 4 mile hike to see all of them and every step is worth it! I've never seen or stayed in the cabins. I decided to check them out today before leaving. They are beautiful, have great views, and look like they fit six people. Will definitely keep this in mind for next time.

The park was imrpoved during the early 20th Century as part of the "City Beautiful" movement (see the marker nearby, https://www.yelp.com/biz/j-horace-mcfarland-historical-marker-harrisburg?hrid=H1tuZtTltnpgTd2V1YKACg). The "sunken" configuration is a result of it being placed here in the excavated basements of the riverfront neighborhood known as "Hardscrabble" that was demolished to make way for the park and improvements to the waterfront. The park is laid out as a formal garden, complete with a gazebo. Definitely a great spot for a photo shoot, especially if you have better weather than the rainy drizzle that I did.

Everyone at Celebration from the owner to any person on the ground and office staff were fun to work with, professional and courteous. They are extremely knowledgeable and took the time to work with us for my daughter and son In law's wedding day. It's amazing to find out just what goes into each display from the decision about where to set off the display safely and with best viewing to set up of a location and then the display itself. So much technology, science and then there's the personal touch that John and his people present every stinking time!! They rock. Oh and they're extremely affordable. We got the 9-11 minutes display and our guests could NOT believe their eyes. They told us repeatedly that we raised the bar for what should be at a wedding. Melissa and Asher even got to be the ones to set off the display which was a nice touch. Celebration had the fire company on standby, did all the permits checks and worked with our venue ( Folino Estate and Winery) to make sure everything was perfect and safe. Trust me when I tell you that you can just let them choose the best displays and colors for you. They are remarkably good at what they do John- we are committed to spreading the word about your business because we know that is the best flattery any customer can offer. Everyone out there- be sure to give them a call and then follow up with booking them. They're worth every penny/ dollar etc. I would do this again in a heart beat. Oh and John--please welcome your newest little member to the team for us. Thanks for sharing your personal touch and professional expertise. It clearly showed on May 4th 2018. The force was with you that night

There is a modern playground. There are athletic courts and fields. There is a really nice walking trail. There are several things that set this one apart, though. It has a dog park, for one. This is something uncommon in this part of the state. The other unique feature is a butterfly garden. It is quite beautiful and scientifically correct for the species of butterfly and bees in this part of the state. There is even a yearly educational program called Wings in the Park which was going on the day we got there. The program had activity stations set up with educational "questions" to help the young and old, alike, learn about the butterfly. There was even a station about bees. This program had information on new methods for growing perennials that are friendly to the butterfly. They had information on conservation efforts in effect in order to save the rapidly disappearing Monarch butterfly. Back to the park itself. The main trail winds through some fields. One of which appears to be a horse pasture. It is really odd, too. You would think with the developments nearby, that you would feel like you were in the middle of a residential area. You don't feel that way. It feels completely rural and relaxing. I imagine this would be a great place to go for a jog. The main trail is paved. But there are little grass covered trails and reflection spots throughout the butterfly garden. So with all this, I can really highly recommend this park. One of the top ones I have been to in along time. I mean... butterfly garden? Yep, with sunflowers, semi exotic looking native birds, and natural beauty, this would be a great place to visit daily.
