Arlene, you’ve never been? I’ll have to look into the date it was opened to the public. It may have actually been after you left the area. If we ever go up for a family reunion again, we should take a side trip there! It’s a wonderful place and I didn’t get to spend nearly enough time there.

Isn’t that the truth. It is always nice to go for a visit, but then I aIways enjoy coming back home.

I never knew about this place when I grew up in western PA. Looks like a neat place – especially for the school kids to learn about animals. And what a perfect place to do animal related fund raisers. Love your photos. I am so glad you had a good trip.

I agree with your perspective, Jenn. I also think that farms like this one are important because they make the farming lifestyle relatable for those who may not be exposed to a life like this. Many schoolchildren from all over the Pittsburgh area visit Round Hill Park, and I believe that the experiences they have there are critical to creating well rounded children and young adults and fostering an awareness of where our products come from.

I lived on a working farm for 6 months, when I was out on the Navajo Reservation. A time that I often think is when I felt most alive in my life. So because of that experience in a lot of ways, I am looking forward to living on a working farm again – my own! I find that doing work where you have tangible results each and everyday makes me feel so accomplished and content with my life.

Round Hill park looks like a wonderful place to visit! Thanks for sharing it with us!
