Glen Rock Dog Park

Triumph can sometimes emerge from tragedy. After Hurricane Agnes wrecked most of our downtown, including the baseball diamond just up the tracks in Centerville, the borough council voted to establish a recreation board in 1972. The Glen Rock Park was then dedicated in under four years to include a baseball field, softball field, and play equipment. Since then, countless volunteers, groups, and individuals have contributed to make it one of York County's finest institutions.

East Manchester Township, in Emigsville, is home to John C. Rudy County Park. Pavilions, sports fields, horseshoe pits, volleyball courts, open recreational space, a cross-country running trail, a BMX track, and the famed Canine Meadows Off-Leash Dog Area are all part of the 150-acre park. It also houses the Parks Administrative Offices, which are housed in a 1798 stone house, as well as the maintenance headquarters and a variety of other structures. George B. Rudy and Viola Rudy Williams donated the land in 1973 in remembrance of their grandparents, John and Mary Rudy.
