Sixth Ward Park — Attraction in Lancaster

What a great idea! This is only the second playground I have been to that offers a small FREE pool area for kids! The plus side about this place is that it has staff there to keep an eye on anyone in the pool area. So bad behavior won't be tolerated inside the pool area. It has a small swing set, play area, 2 basketball courts, small baseball field, small pavilion area, benches and picnic tables that surround the grounds. With plenty of grass area to picnic. The park seems to be kept up with the cleanliness. And the staff is very attentive, with 6 to 7 people on shift. The only downside is you have children running around outside the pool area with very bad mouths. Parents fault, not the township. I did notice they provide snacks for the kids that attend the water area at 3pm. That is actually a great idea! It takes alot out of a kid playing outside and not have a snack. So bravo to you guys! For reference to future visitors, the water area is opened and staffed Monday thru Friday from 12pm until 4:30 pm. With the snack break occurring from 3pn until 3:30pm, at which they lock down the water area. There are restrooms available during the time frame of the pool hours also. Definitely take your kiddos for a first time visit to see how...

So, don't make the trip. Also, the playground park was fun, but the equipment was very dirty. All of my daughters closed are stained from the insane amount of dirt. It does have some pretty shaded and grass...

Sixth Ward park is a quiet, well-used park at the edge of northeast Lancaster. The park was redone in the past few years, with an excellent splash pool, well kept landscaping, and 2 basketball courts. There are several picnic tables and a softball field at the opposite end. The swings and playground are small but...
