Welcome to Piney Run Park!
Beginning on April 15, 2024, the east side access gate to Piney Run Park will be closed to vehicular traffic until further notice. This will allow this area of the park to environmentally recover given its heavy use in recent years. This access gate will continue to provide equestrian parking since it is not permitted at the main park entrance. The main park entrance located at 30 Martz Road is available for regular vehicular traffic 7 days a week from 7:00 AM to Sunset.
