About the Venue

Fort Hunter Park is a scenic county park along the Susquehanna River with a major inclusive playground project officially announced for the site. The park's official page describes the new inclusive playground with ramped equipment, a poured rubberized surface, concrete paths, and renovated restrooms intended to better serve visitors with diverse needs. Families also get the benefits of a larger destination-style park with open space, river views, walking routes, and other children's play areas. Because the official page frames the inclusive area as a recent project, families with very specific feature requirements may still want to confirm the newest on-site conditions before visiting.
