Riverfront Park — Attraction in Kittanning

I remember as a child this park was only a grass section between the river road and the river. But when they decided to update the town a little, the park was the main breathtaking attraction with a beautiful gazebo, a cemented path for walkers, benches to sit and admire the calming view of the river, and even public restrooms. They planted trees and now it is all in full bloom. The grass is so green, just gorgeous to walk, talk, and sit.

Before the park was "made" I never saw anyone there, now there are not too many times that there are NOT people around. I love the amphitheatre and being able to walk under the bridge instead of crossing traffic. My mother loves to walk her dog here and I miss living in town and walking my...
