Townsend Park

Townsend Park is enjoyed by people with a variety of interests.This
160-acre park is located off of Twin Oaks Drive about one-half mile from the intersection of Sardis Road and Twin Oaks Drive near the geographic center of Murrysville.

When walking one of the many trails that provide a variety of walking and hiking challenges, a person can feel enveloped in nature and have a vigorous or gentle walking experience.  The bulletin board near the upper pavilion contains a map that shows the various trails in the park. Most trails can be hiked as a loop.

Many groups rent one of the two pavilions, and there is a gazebo and gardens which have been used for family portraits and wedding photos. The lower pavilion overlooks the Remaley Pond where fishing is permitted, and there is a campfire pit located near the pavilion for permitted groups.
