Good city park. Swings 3 slides. Noticed mulch piles tonight, hopefully the city spreads it!
We loved this place! I was shocked by how clean it is and the staff is very attentive. Nice work Lancaster, we will return some day ☀️
Play equipment for kids and a water feature area for everyone make Reservoir Park a year-round spot to chill. Covered pavilion with tables for gatherings. Large grassy areas.
Clearly, the Dept of Public Works makes effort to keep this park clean. It’s an uphill battle to say the least. So kudos to the City of Lancaster.
One note: When the weather is rainy, the park’s sidewalks and paths along Orange St become SUPER slippery and deeply muddy. Those areas could do with some maintenance.
Great place to sit and read. Beautiful, kid water park. Benches and picnic tables.
Always loved coming to this park as a kid with my brothers and sisters, best part was when in the winter coming back from school we would have mayor snowball fights and in the summer we would enjoy the outdoor scenery of the beautifull colors of the flowers all the kids would play football, soccer or sit around on blankets and enjoy some ice cream. Childhood memories are the best.
