Fountain

Nice marked trails, small loop; public pool here and picnic/grilling areas. Nice for a short stroll; or a boost to your daily step count.

Wow, this is one huge park! First, if you want to find it, its near the media heights golf club on rt 272/222. Now, theyve got playgrounds, tennis, basketball, soccer, baseball, a skate park, hiking trails and a garden of 5 senses. You walk thru and smell, touch, listen, see and taste stuff. If you get a permit, they even have a garden plot area where you can farm! If you look on the map, there is a blank space between the golf course and the city. ALL of that is the park!

Parking and pool area

This park was nice. It was clean and had lots of room to sit on the grass. We were there with a baby, so it was perfect for her to crawl around. We pulled in to park by the pool. It was hard to find parking due to the amount of people. There was also a line of people waiting outside to get in the pool. Overall a good experience, but you might have to search or drive around for parking on a nice summer day.

Pano of walk

SO BEAUTIFUL! I was shocked how much nature there was just outside of the city. 10/10 will be going here all the time now

The main stream. You can even fish if you have perm of course.

See all

Large park with tons of space for running, riding bike, and hiking along the Conestoga River. Tennis courts are convenient too.

After over 45 years my sister thought it would be great to start skating again. When we were kids,…read morewe loved skating there. No, it's not like riding a bike. We started out hanging on the wall the first night. We were really happy when we made 1 full lap on the rink. Then managed to stay out for one full song. Now, we go Friday, Saturday and Sunday. When my body is feeling well, I don't want to get off the rink. It's our happy place together. We've had our kids and grandkids come out, friends that come out, because I don't think any of them thought we would want to keep going. Now we can't wait for Friday to get here so we can start our weekend at Overlook. The wood floors are great and the rink is large. What we love the most is the people that work there and the people that come in to skate. It feels like family. The smiles, the waves and how are you? We are always amazed at the kids that make sure to say hi every time they see us. Th DJ's are great, will play a nice mix of music, of course us older girls love rock and roll. Live organ music is our favorite, it's just wonderful. We just wanted to get back into skating and now we've added a family.

Well, it was a "quest for a pool" that led us here …read more.. The Hampton, our hotel's, was closed - not bc of COVID, but due to a broken light hazard! They sent is to The Residence Inn, as an alternative. That was indoors - NOOOO - we want sun! So sent us here. Nice, empathetic staff. Gorgeous huge pool and an overall awesome family Center! They have it all!

Beau's Dream Dog Park - Deck & awning on the little dogs side of the park - space is smaller than the big dog side, but still has plenty of fun stuff.

This is still a good space for dogs to socialize and run around in the middle of the city - and…read moreonce upon a time it was probably really top notch - it just hasn't aged gracefully. The astroturf is well loved and the splash pads and other play gray tires have seen better days, but while it's kinda gross to us, my dog doesn't seem to mind one bit. He's just happy to run around and chase other dogs. And I'm just happy there's a place nearby where we can let him be off leash and run as fast as he can. He's only 20 pounds so we usually stick to the park side for smaller dogs, but sometimes there aren't any littles to play with, and since our dude isn't intimidated by the bigger pups, we feel comfortable letting him play over there occasionally. If you're a stickler for rules, this isn't the park for you - people frequently take big dogs to the little dog side (sometimes they're older, have anxiety, etc.) and vice versa. As others have stated, there are tons of balls to play with and water dishes and water fountains for both people and doggos.

For a $500,000 dream park, this was severely underwhelming and has been seriously neglected over…read moretime. I am sure when this park opened up in 2013 it was spectacular...because the photos make it look like it. But when we arrived in 2021, it was NOT a "dream". It's actually pretty disgusting. It's fake grass, almost like carpet, and it has NOT been upkept at all. It was packed with more dogs than I've ever seen at a dog park and nobody was paying attention to their dogs but us. Poop left everywhere, nobody picking it up. It was way too overwhelming for me and for our dog. As one of only 3 dog parks in the US that won the Benefit Dream Dog Park contest, I was so excited we were able to visit...now I wish we didn't even go.
