The heart of some of the most beautiful landscapes in the area.
On Scranton’s far east side, bordering Interstate 81 and spanning both banks of Roaring Brook lies the ever-popular Nay Aug Park. Often cited as the city’s most treasured green space, Nay Aug is the largest park in Scranton.
Nay Aug is home to the revered Everhart Museum, Nay Aug Gorge and Waterfall – a National Natural Landmark, several memorials and walking trails and so much more.
The park is a favorite weekend spot with many green spaces suited for picnicking, soaking up some sun, flying kites or taking your furry friends for a walk.
And the fun doesn’t stop when summer ends. Nay Aug Park also hosts a spectacular drive-thru Holiday Light Show. Guests can drive through the park viewing over 100 seasonal light displays along the way. There is no admission fee but donations toward park maintenance are welcome.
Park Amenities
There are two well-maintained playgrounds and the 150-foot high David Wenzel Treehouse which overlooks the gorge.
The park features three pavilions to have lunch or to just enjoy the shade under. There’s also a beautiful covered bridge, a rose garden, and a picnic area complete with tables and charcoal grills.
Nay Aug Park offers many places for parkgoers to enjoy the views and the weather.
