An outdoor adventure with a variety of features that will keep the whole family active!

Powell Stackhouse Park is a 277-acre park and green space with 7 miles of hike and bike trails. The park also features several ball fields, picnic tables and fields. Hikers and bikers will find a variety of trail options- from the wide, flat Luzerne Path to the more traditional Elk Run Trail which winds along the stream in the park. Visitors can download a trail map from the Stackhouse Park Website to see all 14 trails that are available!

At the corner of the park, near the intersection of Edgehill Dr. and Greene St., you can find The Mound Playground. (If you’ve just exited the famous Johnstown Incline, you can find it on the hill that is directly behind the upper station. Just walk up the steps that lead to the huge American flag, look to your left and you can’t miss it.)

The playground is large and features a variety of equipment from swings, to an old-fashioned “merry-go-round”, and places to climb and slide. The mound is meant for all ages and does have large equipment for big kids and smaller equipment for little ones. There are plenty of benches and also a covered pavilion with picnic tables.

If you’re in need of a bathroom, a public restroom is available at the upper station of the incline. You can also purchase snacks and ice cream at the station if you’re in the mood! The main entrance to Stackhouse Park is un Luzerne Street, but the park is also accessible via several other city streets including Norton Road, Julia Drive, Drexel Street, Fayette Street, and Crystal Street.
