About Hillside Park

A Volunteer-Powered Community Treasure

Hillside Park is a unique multi-faceted regional recreation facility spanning 100 acres of former state-owned farmland. Located on PA Route 307 in South Abington Township, this remarkable park is designed, managed, and maintained entirely by volunteers.

Supported by five municipal governments (Clarks Green, Clarks Summit, Glenburn, South Abington, and Waverly Township), along with Lackawanna County and numerous grants and donations, Hillside Park reflects the passion and dedication of our community.

The Abington Area Joint Recreation Board (AAJRB) oversees this treasured facility, working to provide exceptional recreational opportunities for residents throughout the region.
