Local Playground Guide

By Sarah Frane - Publisher/Editor of Macaroni Kid Gettysburg/Hanover May 4, 2022


Our playground guide is currently a work in progress, and we are currently looking for local Moms who would like to do a short park review so we can add even more useful info about each park to our guide!  If your interested in reviewing a park or know of a great park/playground we' missed please let us know by emailing sarahfrane@macaronikid.com

Located in Fairfield, PA, Carroll Valley Borough offers two spacious playgrounds for kids of all ages, a mini-park, and several auxiliary playing fields. It is also home to Lake Carroll, Lake Kay and Lake May. Fishing and boating are permitted on both Lake Kay and Lake May, and fishing from the banks is permitted on Lake Carroll.
