We started out at the West Fairview boat dock to feed the ducks but it was pretty muddy so we left and were trying to find a small park in Wormleysburg we visited once last year. While I was trying to locate that park I saw signs for the Memorial Park. If you go north on Front Street make a left at Edna or Haldeman and it runs along River between those two blocks. River is parallel to Front and Second streets.
The kids were immediately drawn to the carousel horse merry-go-round! There is a big wooden play structure that seems to be in good shape but if you have younger children you would have to really be hands-on with them b/c there were quite a few openings that they could slip through. This park has some of the nicest baby swings I've seen around the area. They have high backs, are one piece molded plastic and looked brand new. There was a large pavilion with 10 picnic tables and bathrooms beside it but they weren't open today. The location isn't very scenic as it looks over basketball courts and another paved, fenced court as well as facing houses and garages across the alley that is River Street. All in all, it was a good place to stop and play but I wouldn't schedule a picnic or birthday party b/c the scenery isn't very attractive.
