    Riverfront Park's trail is good for running, walking biking, or whatever activity might suit your fancy. You'll find the the views from the trail are really nice :-) Tip: Riverfront Park is especially busy in the summer, so if you're riding on something with wheels you need to be extra careful not to run into pedestrians who aren't paying attention The trail within is really starting to show its age; repaving would be an excellent thing in a lot of places!

    I'm going all out here and giving this lovely park and entire riverfront area five stars. Pretty much because it's all there is on the riverfront and because it is full of beauty, wildlife, and a great place to exercise by running, walking, or biking. The park stretches from the north at the Susquehanna Township border all the way down to the PennDot building. Biking and running trails continue onward along the Capital Greenbelt and throughout the area, making for a great run or ride. The park is site to several city festivals every year and is very family and pet friendly. Whether you're recreating or just taking a nice stroll along the river, this is a great place for all to enjoy nature in the middle of a nice city we call home.

    I thought there was a river here, but it was just a front. A Riverfront. Riverfront Park in Harrisburg is absolutely beautiful. It's really just all about the river. They set aside a small sliver of green land between the road and the river all along the Susquehanna from the north part of town all the way through midtown and to downtown, and it's absolutely gorgeous.

    This stretch of park along the Susquehanna River is beautiful. It runs for miles along the riverbank and has quite a bit of variety in landscape and points of interest. There are multiple walking paths, biking paths, flower gardens, stone plateaus overlooking the water, statues and memorials. You can actually get right down to the water via large steps that go directly into the river. From the park you can access Walnut Street Bridge, which takes foot traffic across to City Island. The views from the park and bridge are amazing, particularly at sunset. The only drawback to this park is that the bugs here are ridiculously annoying. At some points you have to keep moving quickly to pass through the clouds of gnats near the water. Also, it would be nice if it was kept a little cleaner, although for a park that's right in the center of a large city it's probably as clean as can be expected.

    Great for a leisurely stroll, riverfront park extends from Vaughn Street, all the way to Paxton Street. Great for hiking, walking your pet, reading, exercising, walking or just relaxing. Lots of benches, trees and places to take pictures, look at the river or escape the noise of the city. part of the capital area greenbelt. http://www.caga.org/ Annual festivals are held each year: Kipona: Labor Day Weekend ArtsFest: Memorial Day Weekend MusicFest: 4th of July weekend http://www.harrisburgevents.com/Common_pages/Attractions.html

    Our recent visit to the Camp Hill area of PA was made so much nicer having this park close to our…read morehotel. It certainly left me wishing I had a park with these amenities close to my own home! We were really just looking for a clean playground for my daughter to get some energy out, but I was so impressed that Siebert Park also had a large swimming pool (Olympic size I want to say), walking trails, tennis courts and a full football/soccer field. It was really a beautiful spot to spend an afternoon. The county is clearly committed to making this a clean, safe environment for residents. There was no noticeable litter, there were receptacles available for recycles and I especially appreciate the No Smoking signs near the play equipment. We enjoyed our time here and I would highly recommend it for locals and visitors!

    Sieber Park is among my favorite parks in the area for many reasons. First there is a nice, shady…read moretrail along side the brook. The trail is not paved but provides a good variations of terrains, keeping the short hike interesting. We usually start the hike from the trailhead near the pool parking lot by N 25th St. When you cross the bridge, you have the option to turn left to continue north toward the Conodoguinet Creek, or head straight into the wood for a fun hilly hike which I usually do. By the way, if you do continue north toward the creek, you'd reach the water access point on Creek Rd where you can deploy kayaks or tubes for the 3 miles of downstream to the Susquehana River. Then there are the plentiful amenities that makes this park stand out: swimming pool, beach volleyball court, football/athletic field, cabin, and even a gaga ball pit in addition to the usual tennis courts, basketball courts, and children's playground. You will also find track and field grounds scattered around, albeit none of us will make use of them: discus, shot put, javelin, hammer throw, etc. Now, I must mention even as the park got notably improved over the years, the value it provides to me actually diminishes. For example, the football/athletic field is now a full-blown Camp Hill Stadium but open during actual events only, and the tennis courts are for paid member badge access only. Both of them used to be open to public. So Sieber Park's rank on my list has gone down, but we still frequent it for the fun hikes.

I went in August 2025, right as 19 different outdoor art installations were scattered along the three-mile loop trail. Each piece was beautifully creative and thought-provoking, and I loved how so many of them used natural materials gathered right from the park itself. It made exploring feel like a treasure hunt--you never knew what unique creation would be waiting around the next bend. The park itself is gorgeous and so well-kept. Trash cans were strategically placed and clearly emptied often, so everything looked clean and inviting. Bathrooms? About as good as you could hope for in a community park--clean enough that I didn't even consider detouring for a gas station stop on the way home (and that's saying something). Even on a busy Labor Day weekend, parking was easy. With four different lots, I never felt stressed about finding a spot. I also noticed a pavilion by the Nature Center--there was a baby shower happening while I was there, which seems like the perfect use of the space. Speaking of the Nature Center: it's bigger than you'd expect and doubles as a gift shop and interactive learning spot. There are activities for kids, friendly staff, and my personal favorite--a birdwatching corner with huge windows and binoculars set up so you can spy on the feeders outside. Honestly, I could've sat there all day. The trails are paved, easy, and family-friendly. I saw strollers rolling, little ones running ahead, and older folks carefully strolling with canes. It's accessible, peaceful, and filled with the simple beauty of wetlands, wildlife, and woodlands. Wildwood Park is free, beautiful, and absolutely worth the trip. Pack a picnic, bring your walking shoes, and give yourself time to wander, wonder, and maybe even spot some art in the wild.
