    Beautiful photo session
    Cecile A.

    The view was amazing first time being at Italian lake. Every angle was a perfect spot to take photos and the beauty of nature is everywhere. You can come for walks here, relax or even make a picnic. Has benches anda shot with chairs for events, Mini bridge and more. Love it and will recommend to people I know to go there!

    Beautiful scenery and wildlife on a short mile hike. Parking is sparse and limited to street. Great spot to see ducks, white herons? And other water fowl!

    Stumble across this location . It's beautiful and peaceful . We've spent an hour just walking, talking and listening to the water. Some of the fountains weren't on but other than that I enjoyed the scenery.

    I stopped by Italian lake today after visiting my lawyer downtown, this is probably the first time I've been here in about 7 years. We took our stroller (baby) and wheelchair (grandma) out and went around the lake. The landscaping is supurb, with all sorts of trees, bushes, roses and flowers. Weeping willows, ash, pine, that's about all i recognized. The lake itself had lillypads, some frogs and was stocked with fish. the walkway is paved around with concrete, and some areas are brick. There are benches to sit down and enjoy a book or grab a snack. Theres a cute little red bridge in the middle where you can watch the fish. It was pretty relaxing, there was some trash and a minor, though slightly annoying amout of dung on the walkway, but that was it. There is a free summer music concert series that happens every other week here, check http://www.harrisburgevents.com/Events/Italian_Lake.html for more info.

    Well-maintained, scenic, secluded and peaceful habitat in the city of Harrisburg, PA. Lots of interesting birds and ducks to watch, nice walking path, with a bridge over the beautiful lake. Beautiful location for photos; saw a bridal party taking photos while there. A nice place to restore your peace and connect with nature.

    Cute little neighborhood park just off Division street with a looped paved walkway. We saw plenty of lake life - swans (black and white), geese, heron, turtles. There are a couple of fountains and a bridge through the middle. Nice to walk around or sit on the grass near the water. We took our bikes (we were on a longer bike ride) and rode the loop a few times. It's not long, maybe a quarter mile.

    Harrisburg's mini Walden Pond. This is a beautiful place to go for a picnic, a stroll with your significant other, or a walk with your canine companion (on a leash of course)...but please don't feed the waterfowl.

    Italian Lake is a really nice little park in Harrisburg, great for a break from the work day. During the summer months they have free Sunday concerts there in the outdoor pavilion.

    Very Beautiful, best place to clear your mind or read a book.

    For the more active type, the distance around the lake is 0.68 miles. Just something to keep in mind when running/walking. Cheers!

    I'm from philly, and just moved to the area, and this was such a beautiful little park, great for a nice stroll, picnic or jog.

The trail is paved and easy to walk or bike A great way to bike uptown or downtown while enjoying the river views A great spot to watch the sunset Plenty of benches along the way to sit and relax The park and trail are well maintained It's a great place for a walk, bike ride, a relaxing evening, or simply enjoying the views. Definitely one of my favorite places in the area to get some fresh air.

This wasn't even about my own experience--it was about a front row experience to watching a patron being treated with a complete lack of professionalism and compassion. A man approached security to ask about a family member who is disabled, uses a cane, and cannot stand for long periods of time. The security line stretched for what appeared to be hundreds of yards, so he politely asked if there was an ADA entrance or any accommodations available. He also explained that they had tried calling earlier in the day--twice--but never received an answer. The security manager (he was wearing a red polo that said such), Mitch, is what I was told his name was by another employee, immediately dismissed him, raised his voice and stating there was nothing they could do, and got verbally aggressive. The patron calmly suggested that, if no accommodations were available, that information should at least be posted on the website so disabled guests know what to expect before arriving. Mitch said that the man was raising his voice, he was not. At no point did I witness this man become aggressive, raise his voice, or act disrespectfully. In fact, many people standing in line around me commented that he remained calm throughout the interaction. Despite this, the security manager accused him of "mouthing off" and being aggressive, which simply was not what happened. It was the manager who escalated the situation while refusing to take any responsibility or show any empathy. Whether or not accommodations were available isn't even the biggest issue. The way this patron was treated for asking a reasonable question about accessibility was unacceptable. A manager, especially one representing guest SAFETY and customer service, should know how to de-escalate situations, communicate respectfully, and treat every guest with dignity--particularly when the concern involves someone with a disability. I sincerely hope Riverfront Park reviews how its security management interacts with the public and ensures staff are better trained in professionalism, customer service, and handling accessibility concerns. What I witnessed left a very negative impression and is not how anyone should be treated. Please place information on the website about ADA accessibility, please consider adding an ADA gate, and please address your "security's" behavior.

    Our recent visit to the Camp Hill area of PA was made so much nicer having this park close to our…read morehotel. It certainly left me wishing I had a park with these amenities close to my own home! We were really just looking for a clean playground for my daughter to get some energy out, but I was so impressed that Siebert Park also had a large swimming pool (Olympic size I want to say), walking trails, tennis courts and a full football/soccer field. It was really a beautiful spot to spend an afternoon. The county is clearly committed to making this a clean, safe environment for residents. There was no noticeable litter, there were receptacles available for recycles and I especially appreciate the No Smoking signs near the play equipment. We enjoyed our time here and I would highly recommend it for locals and visitors!

    Sieber Park is among my favorite parks in the area for many reasons. First there is a nice, shady…read moretrail along side the brook. The trail is not paved but provides a good variations of terrains, keeping the short hike interesting. We usually start the hike from the trailhead near the pool parking lot by N 25th St. When you cross the bridge, you have the option to turn left to continue north toward the Conodoguinet Creek, or head straight into the wood for a fun hilly hike which I usually do. By the way, if you do continue north toward the creek, you'd reach the water access point on Creek Rd where you can deploy kayaks or tubes for the 3 miles of downstream to the Susquehana River. Then there are the plentiful amenities that makes this park stand out: swimming pool, beach volleyball court, football/athletic field, cabin, and even a gaga ball pit in addition to the usual tennis courts, basketball courts, and children's playground. You will also find track and field grounds scattered around, albeit none of us will make use of them: discus, shot put, javelin, hammer throw, etc. Now, I must mention even as the park got notably improved over the years, the value it provides to me actually diminishes. For example, the football/athletic field is now a full-blown Camp Hill Stadium but open during actual events only, and the tennis courts are for paid member badge access only. Both of them used to be open to public. So Sieber Park's rank on my list has gone down, but we still frequent it for the fun hikes.
