Rocky Ridge Park — Attraction in Springettsbury Township

Firstly, its very easy to find, its very close to the Galleria Mall or if you're coming a different way its very close to the Central High School. Its easily accessible (just be sure to go during the hours its open, as it does have a gate that they use to lock up to keep people out/trespassing). There's plenty of free parking and there are handicap parking spaces. This is a great place to come by yourself to relax/sit and meditate. Its also great to bring the family because it does have a playground and there are a good bit of pavilions with picnic tables to have lunch or have a big get together. You can use the grills that they have available, they're are free/public restrooms (they are clean)which are conveniently close to the pavilions and parking lot and they offer one building each for male and female. I love coming here for parties or different occasions. If you're into walking hiking, or biking, they offer trails for all of that. From the easy trails to the expert and advanced trails. The views are phenomenal. I especially love coming in the winter near Christmas because they have a Christmas lights set up that's really fun and pretty! Overall, even if you're not into fitness at least try and experience all this park has to offer. I come just at times to find a place in shade to read, picnic, meditate or just to take in the views. There's just something about being outside and in nature that leaves you feeling serene, gracious and happy. Plus, you're supporting your...

This is a beautiful and peaceful park to spend a day or some hours. It is clean, safe, and calm. You will find here plenty of benches, pick nick tables, several kids’ playgrounds, a public restroom. Two overview decks open in front of your eyes beautiful views of the surroundings. If you are lucky, while strolling in the park, you might see rabbits, squirrels and hear a lot of birdies. The place was not crowded, however, I visited on Tuesday afternoon. Several large parkings are available in the area. I met some couples, parents with kids, dog owners and single hikers. I followed the “white” path, which went through the forest, it took me around an hour. The path was clean and not very steep, suitable for beginners. You find the map of the paths on the park’s website.

Overall, this is a beautiful place if you want to do physical activity in nature or generally rest from city noises, people, cars, etc., however, if you are a tourist and seeking something spectacular, may be you should pick...
