Reservoir Park, Municipal park in Harrisburg, United States
Reservoir Park spans 85 acres across the Allison Hill neighborhood, featuring walking paths, sports fields, and multiple water reservoirs serving the city of Harrisburg.
The park originated in 1845 when city planners designated the Prospect Hill area for water storage, leading to the construction of a major reservoir in 1872.
The National Civil War Museum within the park grounds presents exhibits and artifacts detailing the profound impact of the American Civil War.
Located at 18th and Walnut Streets, the park maintains multiple parking areas and connects to the 20-mile Capital Area Greenbelt trail system.
From its position as the highest point in Harrisburg, the park provides views of the State Capitol, Susquehanna River valley, and Blue Mountains.
