We are lucky in the Williamsport Area to have so many great playgrounds and parks to explore. From swings to slides, to climbing walls and water features, Williamsport and surrounding area parks and playgrounds keep my kids active, are a great place to meet old friends (and make new friends), and they're FREE!
I often get asked what our favorite playgrounds are, so I thought I'd share with you my family's picks for our FAVORITE playgrounds and parks to visit in the Williamsport area!
Locations are not listed alphabetically:
Brandon Park
Packer Street and Brandon Place
Williamsport, PA 17701
What we love about Brandon Park:
Brandon Park is amazing! Our favorite thing is the natural play area. There are trees to climb and walk on, plus rocks to jump from and play on. It is so much fun. My kids even enjoyed chasing squirrels. There are places to walk, run, and push a stroller. Friendly for all. A beautiful place in Williamsport to head to for a nice outing. Pack a lunch and enjoy the whole day!

Milton State Park

Milton, PA 17847
What we love about Milton State Park:
We love the state park in Milton! There is plenty of shade and offers a fun playground. We love to walk down to the river and through some rocks in and in warmed months we like to look for crawfish! There is a nice bike/walking path and several bathrooms. We typically take a lunch and make a day of it!
Amenities at Milton State Park:
Milton State Park has plenty of trees that offer shade and provide a place to take a rest to cool off in the warmer months. There are bathrooms that are open during the warmer months and plenty of parking.

Indian Park
104 Park Road
Montoursville, PA 17754
What we love about Indian Park:
Indian Park is a wonderful place to go each season. There are multiple places to explore. Our favorite park to explore is the pound! There are ducks and geese to see and feed. There are plenty of walking trails and playground equipment to play on. It is also a great place to take photos!
Amenities at Indian Park:
Indian Park offers so much. There is an extensive walking/biking trail to enjoy all year. The pond is fun to explore. I like that there is a restroom to use. There are ball fields to play some baseball or just run the bases.

Muncy Lions' Park
207 East Penn Street (near Muncy Pool)
Muncy, PA 17756
What we love about Muncy Area Lions' Park:
Muncy Area Lions' Park is in a nice section of Muncy. It is located along a small creek that offers lots of fun for kids. This park is conveniently located near the Muncy Pool. Our favorite part is the creek. My kiddos love throwing rocks into the creek and when it is dry we look for fossils. This is another great place to pack a lunch and enjoy the day. In the wintertime enjoy sledding near the elementary school.
Amenities at Muncy Area Lions' Park:
At this park, there are several amenities. The best amenity to us is the creek. It offers lots of fun all year round. There are picnic tables and pavilions to enjoy. There is a large field that kids can run around on and a trail that follows along the creek. In the summer, be sure to head over to the Muncy Pool!

Kiess Park
575 PA-442
Muncy, PA 17756
What we love about Kiess Park:
This is by far our favorite park near Williamsport! They recently updated some equipment and they did not disappoint! My kids and I enjoy the Zip Line (adult-friendly)! There are also new swings and climbing equipment. We have enjoyed this park so much last year and can’t wait to enjoy this year! Check it out!
Amenities at Kiess Park:
Kiess Park offers many amenities. There are bathrooms open in the warmer months and they bring in a Porta-Potty for colder months. There is an extensive walking/biking path great for bikes and strollers. You can use the pavilions and picnic tables. The new upgrades to the playground equipment are definitely a plus for the older kids.
