A tight-knit community in Schuylkill County
With Deep Creek flowing through the community and Pine Creek bordering the area’s south end, Valley View is a peaceful community in Schuylkill County. Residents here are surrounded by outdoor recreational spaces, and the area is about 20 miles away from the city amenities of Pottsville. Valley View Park is the community’s gathering place for fun, music and social events. “We live in a very scenic and pretty area,” says David Williams, who is a local and is the president of the Valley View Park Association. “There is a lot of farming and coal mining history, and it’s a place with lots of family and community value. For our movie nights at the park, we have old miners who took their cameras into the mines and filmed what they were doing, and we let people show their films.”
Visitors traveling through Valley View will receive a pleasant welcome from the community.

Community celebrations in Valley View
Valley View Park hosts various events, such as a Father’s Day breakfast and the Annual Apple Festival, which features all sorts of homemade apple treats by local vendors. Movie nights are also a tradition at the local gathering place. “We have a legacy of coal mining, and old miners took their cameras into the mines and filmed what they were doing, so we have movie nights where people show their films,” Williams says. “There’s also a Christmas in the park program where there’s a tree-decorating contest for the best-looking Christmas tree, cookie making and horse-drawn wagon rides. Santa also comes to the park to take pictures with kids, and local church groups sing carols.” About less than 1 mile east, the neighboring borough of Hegins has a namesake park with events such as the Hegins Valley Arts & Crafts Faire and the Hegins Valley Shine, Wine and Brews.
Valley View Park is the hotspot for local events
Located directly to the south, Valley View Park is the gathering place for cultural and outdoor events in the community. In addition to having two playgrounds, those who are big music fans can expect numerous concerts planned throughout the year. “We have oldies bands that come out and perform at the park,” Williams says. “The local citizens love music, and there’s always interaction between the crowd and the performers.” Aside from the park being a popular venue for both public and private events, community celebrations such as the annual Easter egg hunt also take place at the community park. “Our laws from the 1940s stated that this park is not meant to be used for money-making ways, so the park is supported by donations from the local people and organizations,” Williams says. Hegins Park, which is several blocks east, has a baseball field for games and open green space for people to walk around. The Tri-Valley Community Pool sits adjacent to Hegins Park and is open to the public in the summer season. Locals can purchase a seasonal pass, and water aerobics sessions are offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays. About a block south, Stutzman Field is another baseball field popular for Little League games and practices. Those who like water activities can drive 17 miles southeast to Sweet Arrow Lake County Park for fishing, kayaking and boating. The county park also has a disc golf course and trails for hikes.
The playground at Valley View Park is the most commonly used activity for kids.
