This park is supposed to be 12 acres but its hard to tell the way its split up. Its very beautiful with the creek and the ducks. There is a big play area.

Beautiful park. Loved all the things you could do there. Kids played on the splash pad. We than went to the playground. It has a lot of sitting at the playground so you can watch your kids play while relaxing. I like how there were also tables inside the playground fenced area so we can enjoy a little picnic and the kids can come over to the table to finish or keep snacking on their food. Lots of beautiful ducks there. They do get in the way while walking, but nothing stressful. The ducks will move. My family will be coming back to this park very soon.

An amazing playground made of wood. Its huge. Multiple slides and swings. Also many picnic tables and a beautiful creek with a ton of ducks. And so much more. Tennis courts, walking path into the woods, a diverse garden, covered eating area, baseball fields, and a splash pad. All this in the heart of Carlisle.

Sat under the small pavilion near the playground. Enjoyed a mom/son lunch, from Subway. Then took a walk on the trail. We both enjoyed our outing there.

Great park for all ages. Perfect for smaller children because of the way the playground is designed. Also love the creek is right there and the water sprinkler feature to cool off on hot days. If you have small kids, this is a fantastic place to take them!

I didnt remember this place until I saw it again. Fifth grade memories all over it. If you look closely in the stream, you could see some trout. The space is awesome, theres a volleyball net, amazing playground, a path to walk, pavilions, tennis courts, and its great.

I Love this park its nice to see wildlife of ducks and geese. Meet friends that come there by surprise. Seeing kids having a great time, it always reminds me a lot from when I was a kid with lots of memories.

Amazing playground for kids best park in carlisle

Review №33

A nice park with numerous amenities. The splash zone is simple, but enjoyable for kids, has a large pavilion with restrooms, a creek with ducks, and a playground fort. My one improvement would be to make sure there is some shade for the baby swings. Most of the fort is shaded from nearby trees, but the baby swings are not, which I would argue is one of the more important areas to shade.

My husband and I visited here because it was our anniversary and this is also where he proposed to me at. Soooo...we chose here to take our picnic lunch to and to find some peacefulness...which we indeed did.

Review №36

To have a beautiful stream like the Letort flowing through town is such a beautiful thing, and then to have it surrounded by a park makes it even more attractive. This is a well-maintained park, ducks to feed, Fort Letort for kids to play in, a Pavilion to rent for your family gathering, and softball field for the leagues. Just a great little gem of a place.

I bring my daughter there all the time. It only gets packed in the late afternoons and evenings. We go in the morning and its usually just us or one other party. Ducks, trails, creek, pavilion, park, and tons of space are only the highlights this park had to offer. Conveniently located downtown, plenty of parking, I love it.

Nice park and area around it. Parents need to watch their children in the summer and not allow them to go by themselves disrespecting the property and those there at the time.

Small park with an awesome fenced playground with slides and swings. Trail through the woods is short but shady with a few historical signs. Look out for goose poop!

Splash Pad, gazebo, creek with ducks and geese, sports field, and a giant wooden playground. Lots of picnic tables, too. One of the best city playgrounds youll ever go to.

Review №43

It is very family friendly. Dogs are welcome and there is a nice castle like playground with different challenges and a lot of fun parts inside the castle. There is a trail for others that like to walk. In the summer there is a nice fountain for kids (and adults) to cool down. If you want to plan a birthday party or something there is a pavilion for that as well!

Absolutely love this place. This place has very nice playground for the kids of all ages. There are barbeque grills and tables in the park for the family picnics or birthday parties. Letort Park is busy during Saturdays and Sundays.

Review №46

Nice place for families with kids I guess. But it seems sad the night baseball games that used to happen there didnt seem to go on last summer. And like most parks now days, its depressing they outlaw feeding the ducks. I remember as a child us kids and lone old folks like I am now, could sit in a park and feed the birds. Now all thats acceptable to do in that park is to kill things. Suffocating and killing fish is an acceptable sport there. I wish I could go back in time when I see the DO NOT FEED signs along the creek.

We had my grandsons birthday cookout here and we had the best time ever! The pavilion kept us out if the sun and the sprinkler kept everyone cooled off and the kids had so much fun. They also have grills out there for your use also.

Review №53

While it isnt a large park, it does have a creek, some wooded area with a walking path, a tennis and pickle court, good parking, a wooden playground for children, a baseball diamond, a fountain, and a picnic area with tables. They pack a lot into it, and it is well maintained. This is probably my second favorite park in the area next to South Middleton park.

Beautiful little park to watch the stream move and ducks hop in and out of it. Nice little pavilion for bbqs and whatnot. Bathrooms arent always accessible. Clean for the most part with a huge park for kids to go to. Nature trail on the right of the playground, worth the walk on a nice day in PA!

Went to the park and was playing with my son. School was in session so there wasnt any other kids, but I always love to run around with him, hes only 5. I was crouching under the school bus part of the structure when I looked over and saw the biggest dump a human could make frozen on the ground. I consider this park a family park, a place for kids. After the past four years of going here I can honestly say I dont want to bring my child to this park any longer. From the flasher, who flashed children two years ago, to the needles parents find in the sand, to the lack of maintenance and cleanlines . This park is just run down, and getting worse it seems.

Awesome spot for a walk in the park, as well as the park trail. Take the time to feed the ducks, and watch their babies trail the creek with there momma as well as the geese. Or you might want play volley ball, kick ball, flag football. Or enjoy a picnic with your family all that including the awesome castle with sandboxes, several slide, swings, tire swing and more in the castle. There is awesome a pool with a sprinkler system. Tons of fun for the whole family.

This park is so nice. The play area is perfect with a lot to do for the kids. The splash pad area is great for cooling off. The creek with ducks & geese was very shaded & pretty. There was also volley ball, a picnic area, pavillion, & walking trails that passed by a beautiful flower garden area. It was the perfect spot to spend some quality family time. Made for an awesome afternoon & some happy yet worn out little ones on the ride home.

Great place and plenty of room for a family outing or family reunions. Beautiful scenery and many things children can do to keep their selves occupied such as the playground also a water sprinkler to keep the kids cool during those hot days. Great place to take photos as well and it does not cost a dime.

Son loves this park and has for years. Hes ten now and still loves it. Its never crowded and theres ample parking. Its all wood so nothing gets hot - except for the slides. Plenty of parent benches too - and thats important.We dont live in Carlisle but visited Grandma often and usually came to this park, any season.
