Sieber Park is among my favorite parks in the area for many reasons. First there is a nice, shady trail along side the brook. The trail is not paved but provides a good variations of terrains and keep 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...

But that's not true. The woman at the desk was very nice in helping me understand and understood why I was upset. I only brought enough money for the residents rate thinking I would get it because of what the website said. So if you do not live in camp hill boro you pay $20 for the whole day. If you are a camp hill boro resident you pay $10 for...
Read moreThe park play area has nice equipment, well maintained and shaded. Down the grass path from the end of the play area where the swings are, about 1/4 mile down through the woods is a beautiful trail that goes along a quiet stream, but the real trail, as far as the kids are concerned, is in the stream, which is a beautiful cool easy walk in the water about 1/2 mile, til you get to a slow moving river that has a pooled area of slow moving shallow safe water which the kids like to float in on hot summer days. Excellent rest...
