Ontelaunee Park — Attraction in Lynn Township

Beautiful natural, social, and historical legacy for our community. The park has fields for soccer, basketball, volleyball, a disk golf course, pond and creek for fishing, a playground, and two large pavilions for events. Different trees accent the layout and landscaping, including a habitat for frogs. A shaded walking path winds through the woods, and replicas of settlers' homes or the covered bridge are photogenic backdrops for prom, a wedding, or graduation day. In a clearing stands an amplifying arena, perfect for concerts on the green. A newer war memorial proudly lists locals who served, and under the American flag is a memorial to the people who brought us to America and the old amusement park. During the Apple Festival, a replica of the Liberty Bell, the old mini-train that's being rebuilt, and a working printing press are on display for the public. Thank you to all who work hard to care...
