If you're in the area for Fourth of July, Lititz Springs Park is a must. They put on an epic show. If you're not, visit any other time of year. This spacious park is in historic Lititz and comes with its own deep history. There are plenty of benches, shade, a fountain, a concert area, and playgrounds. For kids, the stream with lots of ducks is a highlight. Just be sure to be respectful of the ducks and ducklings. read more

I stopped by Lititz Spring Park when I was passing through Lititz this past Sunday, and it's a lovely little park. For more than 200 years, the Lititz Moravian Church maintained the park and kept it open to the public until they turned it over to the community of Lititz in 1956. Lititz Creek runs through the park, with bridges across it at several points. It's a great place to stretch your legs - a walk along the creek, across some bridges, and feeding the ducks. There park has public restrooms, plenty of benches, covered picnic tables, a visitor's center, playgrounds, pavilions, camp grills, duck feeds, and plenty of space for setting up a picnic or otherwise enjoying the park. There's also the Springhouse, a volunteer-run refreshment stand that sells classic park food and operates seasonally (it was open when I visited). It's a lovely park. Check it if you're passing through. If you have enough time, it's a great place for a picnic, throwing a ball around, reading a book, etc. read more

A nice quite afternoon walk with a Farmer's Market and duck feeding galore! Such a pretty place for a stroll in the heart of a small downtown. Very pleasant experience. I recommend coming for a stroll in this park, checking out the nearby business, and grabbing a bit to eat nearby. read more

Coming here I was like why don't we have something like this? The ducks plus duck food I swear is a genius idea, my son had the time of his life. Then the playgrounds? He never wanted to leave despite us starving lol. I think my son would've lived here if he could, such a cute nice park. read more

A great spot to explore after shopping at the Wilbur Chocolate Store across the street. The area offers a pleasant walkway through the park, leading to a baseball field, and features a charming pond where you can feed ducks. Inside the park's train, there's a friendly gentleman available with helpful information about the train. It's a peaceful location perfect for enjoying a conversation and a light snack. read more

"Just a perfect day Drink sangria in the park And then later, when it gets dark We go home" (Lou Reed) Well, we didn't drink any sangria in the park but we had a blast feeding the ducks in the park. The park has a huge Pond that must be home to 200 ducks and a few vending machines that pump out a fistful of duck feed for a quarter. When I tossed a few grains of that feed onto the grass, all duckin'hell broke loose as all 200 of them came swimming or running towards me, quacking away like Donald Duck on a bad acid trip. Lititz Spring Park is over 200 years old and is a real gem. It was run by the local Moravian Church for decades before responsibility for its maintenance transitioned over to the community itself - there are zero tax dollars involved at all. It's run by a 12 member board of community leaders and is funded through volunteer donations and rental of park facilities. The park is a lovely oasis in the center of Lititz, so go, stroll the grounds, and enjoy the antics of those crazy ducks. They are guaranteed to make you smile. read more

Bottom Line: A quaint, beautiful and peaceful park. My husband and I made several visits to this park during recent visits to Lititz. During out first visit we did a little casual exploring like walking the grounds, admiring the landscaping, checking out the ducks and reading about the caboose which unfortunately wasn't open for visitors. On our second visit we really enjoyed a little breakfast picnic at one of the provided picnic tables while watching the morning dog walkers stroll the grounds with their furry companions. Two things that I really like about this park are the landscaping and the canal-like water feature, better known as Lititz Run, that stretches through the majority of the park. I found the long and narrow water feature to be very mesmerizing and I couldn't help but follow along the edge to see where it would take me. I believe Lititz Run was originally a spring-fed creek and the stone surround was added for perhaps recreational reasons. The historic park includes various pavilions that can be rented, a playground, a band shell and some other features. I found it interesting to learn that this park is privately owned by the Lititz Moravian Congregation but that they have opened it to the public. The park is maintained by another group that represents the churches of Lititz including volunteers. That is very generous! A bit peculiar is one of the park's rules which prohibits "games of chance" so I guess that rules out playing Old Maid or or various other card games while picnicking! There are various special events held in the park throughout the year but when we visited it was just a quiet and peaceful scene. read more

Right at the start of the pandemic my daughter decided to travel cross country with grandkids in tow for a visit. My grandson stayed with me for a few days. It was over a year since I've seen him and he's now 3. With everything closed and the fear of covid lurking I looked for ways to keep him entertained and safe during his stay. Although the weather was still pretty chilly in March I discovered he loved being outside. Since I was paranoid about playgrounds I thought visiting and feeding the ducks would be a fun activity for him. I've honestly never been to Lititz Spring Park when there wasn't an event going on. I've been here in the past for fireworks and the craft show but never been here when it's empty. I didn't even know what it offered. It is the hub of Lititz and many social gatherings pre covid were held here. It's a well manicured park in the middle of downtown, very easy to find off 501. It consists of grassy area with a man made stone canal that runs the length of the park leading to a pond in the front and ending at the spring in the back. There's a small playground, rest rooms, picnic tables, and a pavilion if I remember correctly. There's limited batches of parking and is located right next to a train track. The canals are unique and very clean. Many different kinds of ducks like to congregate year round and welcome your food offerings. Since bread isn't good for them we feed them corn and my grandson was in awe of all the attention he received while carrying the container. We even spotted a few crayfish in the canal and spring area. It's a very nice, well maintained park, on the smaller side, but great for appreciating a few minutes outdoors, feeding the ducks, having lunch, or relaxing with a good book. read more

Lititz Spring Park (LSP) is a private park owned by the Lititz Moravian Congregation for over 200 years. It is maintained by the Churches of Lititz and for public use. It's a small park with 7-acres but has a lovely small creek that runs through it. A couple of months ago I visited LSP for the first time during a beautiful autumn day. I enjoyed photographing the plethora of waterfowl in the creek. It's a nice spot to have a picnic with your family and check out the shops on Broad Street. But it's not really a hiking/walking type of park in my opinion. Amenities: *Welcome Center *Restrooms *Playground *Volleyball Court *Caboose *Picnic Tables/Pavilions *Grills *Gazebo *Refreshment Stand *Creek *Bicycles, Rollerblades, Scooters & Skateboards are prohibited *Smoke-free environment *Stage for entertainment Every winter, the Fire & Ice Festival takes place at LSP. I'm really looking forward to checking it out. The dates are February 17-20, 2017. This will be its 12th year! (http://www.lititzfireandicefestival.com/) read more

Here's a gorgeous, small and simple park. At center stage is the creek and if you walk upstream you will reach the spring. On any given day you will find ducks quacking away enjoying (at least I assume) the nice surroundings they are in. There are a few markers throughout the park to relate the great history of Lititz. My personal favourite is the one tracing back the origins of all the families that made this town a reality. read more

The events are fun and brings people together as a community. The park is clean, well maintained. Relaxing and feel safe Love the ducks : )) read more

We loved the park. Because the stream is spring fed the water is crystal clear. There were numerous picnic tables and pavilions.

I grew up going to this park. We would always bring leftover bread to feed the flocks of ducks. I have been to a few Fourth of July celebrations and Arts and Crafts shows, all of which are nicely done. My dads company picnic was always held at a pavilion which was always clean. We used the jungle gym, swings, set up sand volleyball, bouncing castles, had candy scrambles, etc all of which there was plenty of room. This place became my place to reflect on life, to be in nature and just breathe. Whether it was after shopping in Lititz or just after work, I found myself in the park. It became a special place for me. Since then, I had my high school senior pictures taken here and one of my friends had her wedding photos done here (I was in the wedding). Now that I live across the state, this place is a place I continue to visit when I return home. We bring our pups here to enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells. We take walks and talk about life. Though the landscape surrounding the park is changing and Lititz continues to get busier, I will always treasure this place! read more

I love this park! It's big and has lots of different options for activities. You can feed the ducks, walk along the stream, play on the park, there are pavilioins for use, of course bring your favorite ball, game or toy (bike, scooter, skateboard) to use on the paved path. There are often festivals and events at this park as well. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because of how inconsistent the grass is in some spots it can often be muddy (like muddier than usual places) so it eliminates me wanting to take the stroller or dogs there if the ground is wet. Other than that, I love this place and it's beautiful! read more

On our recent visit to Lititz, Pa we stopped at the Lititz springs Park, There is a visitors center with all sorts of information on area activities, discounts, coupons and free maps. There was a list of activities & events for the next few weeks. The center was staffed by an elderly gentleman who was very helpful and explained a lot of info & history to me. There also is a gazebo, which would be great for picnics, a Railroad car, and the springs themselves, which had a large amount of ducks nearby. It wasnt raining it would have been a much better visit. read more

During a road trip around Pennsylvania last year I made several stops in small towns. One of those stops was in Lititz for some local flavor, lunch and of course beer. I didn't have much time to wander around to all the shops and such but I did make time for the Lititz Springs Park. I took my time to walk the length of the park and take in the calm beauty just off the main road. It's a fantastic place to relax and just enjoy a warm sunny day. I walked by the Welcome Center (an old train station) and checked out the Caboose (inside you'll find some local railroading history) before wandering deeper into the park. There's a gazebo, pavilions, playgrounds and a band shell all within the park confines. There were no events the day I was there but concerts and community events are often held here. The park is also dog friendly. What struck me most, though, was the ducks who take up residence there. They looked so peaceful on the water or in the grass. Some sleeping in the shade, some basking in the sun. I was mesmerized watching them enjoying the glorious day. I've never wanted to be a duck so badly in all my life. Lititz Springs Park is easily accessible and highly recommended. If I lived in Lititz, I would be at the Springs Park on a regular basis. read more

What a wonderful park! Located in the heart of Lititz much of the park consists of trails along side the creek with bridges. A game is along the creek. I was there for the Ice and Festival. Hundreds of ducks were around the creek. Obviously being February there was little activity in the back of the park which included a band shell and a picnic area as well as a trail to walk. Beside the park was a little Caboose from the 1942 that was open to the public. If open go inside it's cool. I hope to get back in the summer because I imagine it's a lively place. read more

This park is a little green jewel in the heart of Lititz. There is a walled stream that runs through it that is gorgeous, at the west end of which is a beautiful grotto of sorts where the springs bubble out into a small pond and then run through the park, emptying into another pond before traveling on through the town. When my daughter was small we preferred this park to all others because it has what many others lack: the shade from tall trees. There is a little wooden train for kids to play in as well as swings and sliding boards. In addition there are a couple of pavilions that can be rented out for events, or you can enjoy your lunch at a picnic table. There are a number of public events held here each year, most notably the 4th of July celebration which boasts that it is the oldest continually-held celebration in the nation. read more

Lititz Springs Park is really neat. They have a caboose, grills, walking trails, a welcome center, restrooms, and a playground. I used to run through here all of the time and you really get a 2nd wind when you jog through the park. They also host the popular Lititz Craft Show during the summer every year. On 4th of July there is a ton of events all day long leading up to the Lititz fireworks. Grab some chocolate at Wilbur and eat it in Lititz Springs Park. read more

We often visit this park when coming to visit/babysit my girlfriend's nephew. He is 3 and has a ton of energy. What better way than letting him run around this expansive, gorgeous park. The city of Lititz itself is something out of a humble figurines display. It's just beyond cute and cozy. The park is huge and features a neat waterway and fountain that are the home to numerous ducks and ducklings. Everyone was fixated on the new duck hatchlings. They have food there to buy if you would like to feed them. Further down in the park features a playground area featuring swings, a kiddie train for climbing and playing pretend and a jungle gym. Her nephew had a blast and didn't want to leave. There were so many kids here, but never felt too overwhelming. This is a must visit when coming to Lititz. read more

We went a few months ago when it was warm out, and ate our Tomato Pie Cafe takeout in Lititz Springs Park across the street. The park is very quaint, with mock-Victorian decor (benches, street lamps, etc.), running through it is a little stone-lined canal filled with ducks and geese. There is a large playground toward the back, and various picnic tables, covered picnicking, public restrooms, etc. Our dogs were with us, leashed, and enjoyed it too. What was sad to us was while the shops and eateries in town tried very hard to cater to a decidedly upscale market, the locals in the park comprised a lot of teen moms (dressed like MTV's teen moms), and other families, who looked like they didn't belong in their own froo-froo town. It was a really weird contrast. While the rest of Lancaster County plays up the farm/Amish themes, Lititz seems to go after the Ye Olde Victorian fantasy. The park and town were very crowded with tourists, most of whom seemed to be in the chocolate factory beside the park. The park was a nice restful place to eat lunch, and while a bit crowded, not terrible, even at the height of tourist season. read more

We love this park! Simply beautiful and the best place to go on a hot day with the kids if the pool is not available!

Normally I wouldn't visit an urban park on a trip - but Lititz Springs Park I made an exception and I was glad I did. It is conveniently located right downtown, next to Wilbur Chocolates. It's a delightful little park with a small stream through it. They allow you to feed the ducks here, and even provide food for a small fee. Perfect for the toddler set. They have two playground areas, one for big kids and one for smaller children. Locals frequent the park, taking leisurely strolls and enjoying the many outdoor concerts and movies during the summer. Add a little museum and caboose and you've got a great little stop in this quaint town. read more

Great place to score drugs from the local high school losers hanging around, and an even better location to contract a STD from one of the many females eager to please you in exchange for a few dollars so they may purchase drugs from those same nearby high school losers.
