Rising Park — Attraction in Pleasant Township

I went to the fair Sunday. I planned to park at Rising Park, like I do every other time I've gone and as half of the people at the fairgrounds were already parked. It's hard to see in the picture the grassy area is marked off and there are a ton of cars. Plus there are several open spots so it wasn't full at all. And yes I see the barricade as well as the "Park Closed" sign. Since there were so many cars parked there and because I've always parked there, I thought the sign meant the Park, as in playground, tennis courts, shelters, Mountain etc etc etc were closed, presumably for safety reasons with so many cars coming and going. Well here's where I find out just how stupid I am. As I pulled in, the man in the yellow vest (there were several other workers in reflective vests, presumably parking cars) started shouting at me. I would say screaming but I don't want to be over dramatic. STOP!!! Don't you see that sign? What do you think that means? The parks closed now back it up!! I was trying to answer his questions but he just kept on shouting. If you were 1 of the people walking by our waiting to exit/enter(like me) I'm sure you heard him. Half the fairgrounds probably heard him! He could've handled it so differently, he didn't know exactly why I was there. Maybe I pulled in to ask exactly what the sign meant. Maybe I was dropping lunch off to 1 of my relatives that also works there. Maybe my grandma was clear back as far as the Park goes with a flat tire and I was there to help her. My point is he didn't even know why I was there, even tho I was there for the fair, he just immediately started shouting at me! I haven't had anyone yell at me like that since I was a teenager! It was just a crummy way to start out our day at the fair. And it didn't have to...

Outdoor shelter house can be booked through Lancaster Parks and Recreation for activities such as Family Reunions, Graduation Parties, Birthday Parties and Aniversaries. Sheltered seating for up to 25 with plenty of outdoor space. Also located at the park are multiple camp style grills for picnics. There are 2 ponds one of which has a Gazebo. The larger of the two ponds is primarily for U-16 fishing (NO Liscence Required) with the other pond dedicated to quit reflection and relaxation. Ultimately you cannot miss Mt. PLEASANT the jewel of Lancaster. With it's

The Lancaster Parks and Recreation is a wonderful community resource! There are several great parks and facilities offered but this is my favorite. Clean, centrally located, can accommodate several needs for larger groups, has beautiful green space, solid and safe facilities, some have water and electric and minimal fees. You MUST schedule ahead, like in January for your year. You might get extra visitors. (people and animals) It is so beautiful for pictures and nature speaks out loud here. This park has a wonderful children's play area, ponds, a look out mountain to hike, geese/ducks to feed, tennis courts, multiple shelter houses and picnic tables. There is adequate, well-serviced green space & parking areas. I enjoy the rolling landscape here. Closes at dark! Office staff is easy to talk with and schedule....
