Parks & Rec

The Harrisville Community Park, situated on 28 acres in the heart of Harrisville Borough, Pennsylvania, is a well-maintained recreational area that offers a diverse range of amenities for residents and visitors of all ages. The park features three rentable pavilions, each available for a fee, making it an ideal location for family gatherings, picnics, and community events. For sports enthusiasts, the park provides a basketball court, a skate park, two playground areas, and three ball fields, catering to various athletic activities and leisure pursuits.

Whether you’re looking to host a special event, engage in sports, or simply relax in a natural setting, Harrisville Community Park offers a welcoming environment for all.

We’re excited to share that there is now a designated legal parallel parking practice area in the park. This space is open for anyone who would like to safely practice their parking skills before hitting the road.
