City Island

- Regional draw
- Harrisburg
City Island forms a substantial recreation destination in the Susquehanna River beside Harrisburg.
Its public grounds combine river views with spaces used for sport, leisure and announced community activities.
Consult current city information for bridge approaches, parking and any event restrictions before arrival. Individual attractions and baseball games have their own tickets and schedules, separate from ordinary access to open public grounds. The aerial photograph shows the island and connecting bridges during an earlier period rather than today’s facility layout. Follow designated routes and check river or weather notices that may affect access.
