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.

That trail is littered with broken glass, so we ditched that and ended up just walking around on the paved areas. It's truly a shame to see such a beautiful park not be living up to its full potential and not getting the respect it deserves.

(This visit was made during the times of Covidious in January. When things return to a look of…read morenormality - your experience likely will vary.) On one hand Silver Mine Park looks more or less like any other smaller rural Lancaster County park yet on closer inspection you can see that it's more like two separate parks at one location. Let's call things the upper part of the park and the lower part of the park. In the lower part you've got a small parking lot along the Pequea Creek that leads to most of the trails in some form or other. While we didn't walk all of the trails, we got to most of them and they are fairly flat and benign. The upper part of the park starts with a small square stone parking lot next to a baseball field and what looks like a soccer field. Next to that is a larger rectangular lot that is close to some playground equipment and a large pond which you can fish (catch and release?). Now this is where it gets good (Dork! Alert!). Just down Silver Mine Road on the left side is another smaller parking lot which leads to a trail. This is the Geology Trail (yellow one on the below map) which is fairly flat and runs along a small stream. Along the trail you'll find an old kiln and the actual silver mine for which this park is named. www.pequeatwp.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/2012-08-29_Walking_Trails_Map_Kiosk_web.pdf Obviously you can't see or tour the mine (although that could change - link below) at this time but the trail will take you to the mine's front entrance and up to a few of the gopher holes were you can see that actual activity was occurring at various times over the past 150 years. lancasteronline.com/news/local/ambitious-plan-could-open-pequea-silver-mine-park-to-tours/article_89aba0c2-7995-11e8-90b4-f76ee454223a.html In principle the only way to get between the two halves of the park is to drive from one lot to the other unless you walk the Poplar Grove Trail which is a large half-loop that goes from the end of the Geology Trail to the almost beginning of the Red Trail. While I saw one or two people walking along Silver Mine Road, I wouldn't recommend it as there are one or two hills with a few blind spots where drivers wouldn't be expecting a pedestrian on the side of the road. Overall Silver Mine was a neat little find that I could see us definitely coming back to visit the next time we're in the area.

Grandkids were overwhelmed with what to climb and play on first as there was so much to see and do! The main play structure is massive and has tons of activities for all ages/climb & play levels. I especially liked the "stone cave" with a panther on top, it made for a cute photo opp. My youngest, a train fanatic, loved the train playset. For me, the tandum swing was my favorite. No need to push when you can put your little one in a safety seat in front of you and your swinging action moves both swings. It was genius and something I've never seen before. The grounds were well maintained, with lots of grassy area to run, as well as benches and a pavilion. Although it's a bit of a drive for us I do plan on returning.
