Rising Park

Rising Park is an expansive recreation destination featuring a playground, a catch-and-release fishing pond, & some magnificent hilltop views. Enjoy a serene day of hiking, picnicking, playing, sightseeing, and fishing at Lancaster's Rising Park — one of the county's most beloved local spots.

Situated in Rising Park, Mt. Pleasant is one of the crown jewels of the Lancaster Parks System. This Blackhand sandstone relief rises almost 300 feet above the city of Lancaster.
