Established in 1845, Reservoir park is the oldest and largest municipal park in south-central Pennsylvania. One of the park's most charming features is the restored 1940s era Levitt Pavilion bandshell where every summer thousands flock for a variety of concerts, plays, and other performances.

Also located in Reservoir Park is a Park Ranger Station, the restored Brownstone Building arts & science education center and multiple Basketball and Tennis Courts and a two-tiered playground for children of all ages. The most commanding structure in Reservoir Park sits at the park apex - The National Civil War Museum. This museum operates daily featuring one of the most comprehensive Civil War Collections on the East Coast with a specific focus on the African American experience during the Civil War era. The Museum also houses a large meeting facility available for public use on a commercial basis, making the spot a favorite for wedding receptions and civic events.
