McDade Park, Arboretum in Scranton, United States.
The 200-acre McDade Park contains multiple gardens, sports facilities, hiking trails, and a large swimming pool within its natural landscape.
The park, established in the 1970s, transformed former coal mining land into a public recreation space named after U.S. Representative Joseph M. McDade.
The Pennsylvania Anthracite Heritage Museum within the park presents exhibits about European immigrants who worked in local coal mines and textile industries.
The park includes a Boundless Playground with wheelchair-accessible equipment, rubber safety surfaces, and specialized areas for children with different abilities.
Visitors can descend 300 feet underground through the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour, where temperatures remain at 50°F throughout the year.
