Lancaster County PA Realty Check: Pennsylvania: Lampeter

On Saturday, July 19, Caring Singles held its summer picnic.  This year we held it at the East Lampeter, PA Township Community Park, a beautiful park located between Routes 30 and 340.

The weather was ninety-five degrees and muggy, but we had electric service to our pavillion and several members brought electric fans.  Coupled with an occasional breeze and the shade of the pavillion, we were all quite comfortable!

                                   Setting up for the picnic.

                                           Lots of cold drinks and salads refrigerated in ice chests.

                        Hot dogs starting out on the grill.

                                                               "Don't forget to light the grill!"

Some of us took a walk around one of the park's scenic walking paths.  At the other end of the park, Dutch Wonderland could be seen in the distance.

                                                           Your Chefs:  Glen, myself, and Bob!

Of the many parks in Lancaster County, PA, one of the prettiest but less well known is the East Lampeter Township Community Park.

Although the park is located between Route 340 and the outlets area of Route 30, it's off Hobson Road, a country road, and it has a quiet, private atmosphere.

There's a well-equipped playground for the kids.

                                There are beautiful picnic groves.

                                                    A baseball diamonds sits in the middle of the spacious park.

Several well-equipped picnic pavillions are available for reservations.  All have electric outlets and charcoal grills.  The largest pavillion even has a gas grill!

                                    Scenic walking trails wind through the park.

                                                                            Beautiful open green areas abound.
