I can't speak for everything, but the place is very scenic with a couple of trails. One of the trails I took followed a stream for most of the journey and had hills to the opposite side of the stream. There are no views to be seen at this part - instead, the surroundings are pretty to look at. Another trail I checked out had a gravel path that lead uphill to an open field that appeared to be a school. Not much of any highlight in this part, but instead turned around seen there wasn't much to be seen. The map is hard to follow, so be sure to take a photo to make sure in you're in the right place. Another visit will indeed take a long time, but it killed time to check it out.

All the tees and baskets remained in the same place, but they dumped loads of sand all over the park. There are sea shells in it, so unlike I originally thought, which was it was removed creek bank, I guess they trucked it in. Just odd. Only weeds grow on the sand. The park is still fine for a quick stop over lunch, but I wouldn't want to play there with others unless I was pressed for time. I should be fair and say kids might have fun finding little shells in the sand, and the renovation had nothing to do with trying to enhance the disc golf experience. The same basket in the review below is still crooked. 2022-23: Nice short course. Well kept. 2 Baskets crooked. Every other trip is usually ended short without playing through due to off leash dogs walkers. Although the dogs are always good, the people are not so bright. The dogs will chase a disc that heads their way. After that happened twice, I just leave now.

Also, there is another entrance located on Theatre Drive. There is plenty of parking in both lots, even when it gets packed. The majority of the park sits right at a lake, with a path that does a complete loop around the lake. The views are pretty nice, with two sections going past a couple of houses, a bridge that crosses the dam (the main highlight), and also a big field. Finally, in the main parking lot, there is also an opening that heads close to the lake, providing two docks. Picnic tables are also provided in the park as a plus. Something that should be addressed is keeping the dock clean because it is covered with you know what?! Pennsylvania is a beautiful state if only I lived closer.

Ever since we found out my trunk bike carrier works on our SUV late this summer, we've fervently…read moreexplored biking trails around the Harrisburg area before the season's over.  One of the first things that came to mind would of course be the Capital Area Greenbelt.  It's a 23 mile route interconnecting paved paths, crushed-stone trails, and public roads.  We've only explored 3 different segments of the Greenbelt.   The first is City Island and Riverfront Park. Start by looping around the small island which is less than a mile but think of it as a warm up. You also get to see some touristy highlights such as the Pride of the Susquehanna Riverboat, Water Golf, and City Island Railroad.  Then cross the picturesque Walnut Street Bridge, turn left on to my favorite segment so far, the Riverfront Park. This paved segment runs for 3 miles alongside the Susquehanna River all the way to Vaughn St. You also have an option to take the path directly along the river or the path along the green/street.  Along the way you get to see many sculptures and historic landmarks. Some highlights include State Street, Governor's Mansion, Peace Garden, and Sunken Garden. And if you're open to excursions, take detours and check out the Capitol Complex and Italian Lake. The second segment we've been frequenting without realizing it's part of the Greenbelt - Wildwood Park. I've had a 5-star review on it. It's one of  my favorite parks in the Harrisburg area.  I've read that there's a new 1.5 mile segment connecting from Wildwood Park to Fort Hunter.  I can't wait to check that out! The third segment we just tried today, the Andrea Ave Spur.  It's not part of the main loop but still part of the Greenbelt. I guess you can think of it as an extension, much like the Fort Hunter segment.  This one starts out on a crushed-stone path but soon turns into a fully paved trail. It's only 2.3 miles to the main loop near the Farm Show complex, but it's hilly and punishing at times. This is a different experience than, say, a rail trail which is more secluded and allows you to be soaked with nature.  Here you do not completely leave civilization. Another negative aspect is that many sections insolve public roads.  I'm not sure I should venture the southeast portion of the Greenbelt, based on the map...

The staff at the information center is very friendly and help you decide where you want to walk on the River Trail if you decide to do that. If you start your walk from there, you walk across the railroad tracks and head towards Marietta on the sidewalk for a while until you are closer to the river. She suggested we drive 5 minutes to the next place to park and showed me on a map. They do have bathrooms at the information center. They also have a company that rents kayaks. This is where the boat launch is and trucks with boat trailers have to use the entrance to the water on the right side of the building and park there. On holidays and weekends I'm sure it's very busy so I would park at the lot across the street or at another entrance point. The trail is paved and everyone was friendly. There is a place to eat right across the street from the info center. You can walk or bike the River Trail or just go and sit and have a nice time.
