Nay Aug Park, Gorge, and Treehouse

The City of Scranton’s largest park, Nay Aug Park, grants residents and visitors a touch of nature amid the city landscape. Walking trails, picnic areas, kid-friendly rides, two (2) playgrounds, two (2) Olympic-sized swimming pools and waterslide complex number among the attractions.

The Everhart Museum is also located within the park. A rock-strewn gorge and waterfalls add to the allure and have been named a National Natural Landmark. A pedestrian footbridge opens in 2007 to access parkland across the Roaring Brook untouched for many years. Nay Aug Park’s David Wenzel Treehouse is the first of its kind in Pennsylvania opened on Friday, May 25, 2007. It overlooks the gorge, rising an awesome 150 feet above. The treehouse was constructed by Forever Young, Inc., with public and private donations and set the stage for additional treehouse construction in other cities across the United States.
