Review from Jo E.
Harrisburg, PA
This scenic park includes a trail that runs parallel to the Susquehanna River. One part of the path includes exercise stations (pull ups, etc.). There is a lower path that goes right along the water, which I didn't realize existed the first few times I ran on the path because the river water was so high from rainfall.
The beautiful views are great for easily distracted and disheartened runners like me - I can watch the boats, observe people and check out the scenery, and it makes the time (and miles) pass more quickly. -
Review from Kurt I.
Harrisburg is normally the bunghole of PA - and I try to avoid it - BUT I LOVE THIS PARK.
This (fairly) well kept park was a surprise when I was told about it for the first time. I expected to see more crackheads, trash, drug deals, and the common sights in HBurg - but nary a one found. One dude who looked like he was meth'd up - but one out of many ain't bad.
Several arts festivals every year - I do go to all of them. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ARTS.
Its a nice escape to a dreadful city. I'd love to see Harrisburg survive this harsh slump its in. Go here. Make this place known - maybe more $$ will be dumped into the city. It desperately needs it. -
Review from Dan R.
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/

Kipona: Labor Day Weekend
ArtsFest: Memorial Day Weekend
