    From the Kirby Park Web site.

    You may find it surprising that Kirby Park's Yelp listing has sat dormant - even with the incorrect address - on this site for so long, but really it makes perfect sense. Kirby Park is one of the few places in Wilkes-Barre worth cherishing, yet it is quickly overlooked and even taken for granted by locals. Even though Kirby Park (given to Wilkes-Barre by the Kirby family) is part of Wilkes-Barre, it sits over the bridge in Kingston. It's as if the park stiff-armed the city a la Heisman and said, "not so fast ... you can own us but we are too nice to actually be IN your city." When you think about it, the list of nice or very nice properties in Wilkes-Barre is a short one indeed, and don't confuse the city with the Township, which is a whole other story entirely. Back to the park: it's basic. One little pond that is allergic to geese, a strange running/walking trail that snakes along the (not so scenic) river, and a decent helping of tennis courts, playgrounds, softball fields, track, and a pavilion. This is where Kirby Park needs some love. That little Martz Pavilion plays host to some key annual festivals including the annual 4th of July celebration. So no, Kirby Park is not among the top parks in the state, but those few times a year the locals gather as a community generally happen right here. And there's value to that.

    Kaitlin and I frequent Kirby Park for relaxation and brainstorming. Depending on what time of day we visit we are granted a different experience from the same loop. Always grateful. Finding a solution for the homeless in the woods and greater maintenance of the wooded path would increase our rating.

    I discovered this park at random while wondering around Wilkes-Barre and crossing the bridge. Boy am I glad I did. It's a wonderful place to walk with a nice pond, a hill and a playground, a tennis court, and a softball and football field. You get great views of the mountains in the distance, always a good thing for a tourist. It was a very lively place and for a good reason.

    Blanche D Price Memorial Park - Where the playground used to be? Looks like a new one is being built.

    What a beautiful location, Blanche D Price, Memorial Park located in Pocono Pines Pennsylvania…read more My daughter booked and rented the Main Lodge in the park so she could have an indoor & outdoor setting, for a Wedding Reception. We were allowed to decorate, both indoors & outdoors, the tables & chairs were provided by the facility so you can set them up accordingly to how many guest and the type of celebration. We had approximately 200 guest, our celebration was for a BBQ wedding reception. Many of the guest complimented how spacious and roomy the venue they chose, they were delighted to see there was a playground just a few yards for the children to play and within eye's view from the main lodge. There is a small outdoor stage for entertainment but there is no shade or covering for the entertainers/musicians, granted you can provide a pop up tent if necessary. Inside the Lodge there is a small stage loft with lots of room for tables chairs and dancing.. The outside of the main lodge, is a wrap around deck for plenty of room to sets extra tables and chairs or hang out at the banister and listen to the music. Plenty of room to mingle with friends and meet the new family. The main lodge has its own male/female bathrooms,a kitchen, fridge, stove, oven there is a center island table for cutting or prepping, there is hot & cold water but no dishwasher so you will need to bring your kitchen amenities such as dish soap, trash bags etc. The location is well kept and clean as well as the playground equipment. was very happy & delighted to have such a wonderful venue to share with my family, my new family and friends for this memorable event.

    It was a great park that offers some great hike. You need to stay at least 1 night to enjoy the parkread more

    Worlds End is another fantastic state park in Pennsylvania! There are a lot of sights to see and…read morethings to do. Unfortunately, the weather interfered with our ability to see as much as we had hoped, but we still had a great time! There is a nice visitor center with a variety of historic and nature info available, including some great info on the CCC work that took place in the park (there's a really nice interactive model of a CCC camp too) and how and where the park name is suspected to have been derived from. There is a real snake to look at, as well. A very nice playground is located nearby, and this section of the park also offers easy access to the Loysalsock Creek and the beach with a snack bar, plus multiple picnic tables and shelterhouses. It's beautiful even just to look at the valley walls and the creek itself. There are several gorgeous vistas available, some by foot and some by foot or car. We especially liked the Loyalsock Canyon Vista, which can be reached on foot or by car. It is located next to the Rock Garden, which is a very neat grouping of giant rocks and boulders that is a lot of fun to check out. The park also offers camping and plenty of trails. Worlds End is located within the Loyalsock State Forest, so there is also a lot more that one could explore in the area.
