Such a good park to go for a walk in. I didn't realize how big it would be from the parking lot. There are chairs to sit in while walking around, a pond, playground for those that have kids, bathrooms, a little free library, and tables. I also love that the trees give a lot of shade.

Love this park. It's one of our favorites, because it's never too crowded and it's just beautiful! A nice loop of trails to run/walk on, a great view of the creek, and gorgeous in all seasons, especially fall! I love that the bathroom isn't too far from the playground as I have a young son I bring here. He loves watching the turtles sun themselves on the log too. It's a really nice park...simple, yet very enjoyable!

Pharr Mill is all centered around the trails. Paralleling the Rocky River, the blue, yellow and green trails go .77, .67 and .44 miles each, respectively. Through woods and with occasional benches if you need to stop and catch your breath. Perfect on a sunny day like today and everyone was performing their proper social distancing. It was awesome.The park also has a fishing pond, horseshoe pits, a picnic shelter that is available for rental and a playground. The restrooms building is located near the entrance but is currently closed due to the pandemic.There is plenty of parking. I'm a fan![Review 13184 overall, 501 of 2020.]

I'm sure the park is amazing, but there are zero people wearing masks and it's quite crowded. We didn't get out of the car due to this.

A cute little park in the back of Harrisburg, Pharr Mill has a lot to like. A well maintained playground, volleyball courts, restroom facilities and pond with a pier all add to the personality of this place. There is plenty of parking and the trails are great as well! I'm not sure how long this park has been open, so I don't know if they are new or recently renovated, but the walking paths are immaculate. I know concrete isn't as natural as a worn dirt path but sometimes it's nice to walk among the trees and not need a change of shoes afterwards. The path is all one big loop around the outside of the park with a crossroads in the middle if you don't feel like walking the whole thing. The back edge of the path is probably my favorite. The trees frame everything so well and you can hear the creek just off to the side. Its a nice little snapshot of a relaxing afternoon. Great place to take a stroll and clear your head.

Love, Love, Love this park! Great playground, great walking path in a natural setting and plenty of picnic spots to choose from. There's also a pond and picnic shelter with restrooms, water fountain and drink machine. Plenty of parking and always plenty of new friends to make while you're there! Wonderful place for families or a romantic picnic too!

Excellent park. It is a nice quiet park. The size is perfect with several wide paths that wonder through the woods. It has playground and picnic options. Always clean and easy to access. I use this park for running, taking my son to play, walking. It is usually quiet. A hidden secret gem of Harrisburg!!
