Yesterday we attended a ribbon cutting for a new section of the Condoguinet Greenway through Siebert Park in Camp Hill. The Greenway path provides a safe, scenic, and accessible route for outdoor recreation activities with the goal of connecting neighborhoods and creating walkable and bikeable communities. The project was completed thanks to funding from DCNR, the Fish and Boat Commission, the Lions Foundation, the Camp Hill Borough Storm Water Authority, and the Borough of Camp Hill.
