We visited City Island in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The island sits in the middle of the Susquehanna River. It features plenty of leisure activities to satisfy most outdoor tastes.
We tried to find some geocaches on the south side of the island, only to score a bunch of "did not finds". We had some nice views of bridges and did throw stones into the river, so the time wasn't totally frustrating.
The island has the stadium for the Harrisburg Senators, a AA-team for the Washington Nationals.
The island has another field for any number of games--soccer, football, etc.
We walked north from the stadium and saw a mini-golf course where we spent most of our time.
Even though it says it is water golf, the course is dry, with the typical streams and fountains running through the course. The course has beautiful views of the river.
Hole Eighteen had a special offer--a hole in one wins a free admission to the Turkey Hill Ice Cream Experience. The set-up only allows one shot. We tried our best but did not win. All our balls wound up in the water.
The north side also features a playground for the kids.
The island has an miniature train that runs around the edges of the island. We came too early to ride but we did see the station.
The island has a steam boat that gives 45-minute tours. Again, we came too early to ride but we did see the boat.
