Upper Frederick Township maintains several recreational facilities including the 25-acre Friendship Park. “This park has a playground, pavilion and athletic fields,” Tackett says.

The trail, made mostly of crushed stone with a few sections that are paved, passes through even more of the area’s abundant outdoor space, including Green Lane Park.
