Harrisburg's uptown gem

Walkable Bike-Friendly Green Space Outdoors Historic

The uptown portion of Harrisburg features several historic residences and apartments across most of this neighborhood. Italian Lake and Italian Park remain the centerpieces of this Harrisburg jewel. Stroll among lush landscaping and over a Japanese bridge, both of which draw residents to this idyllic park. Many people call this area the most beautiful park in the city. Hop on the Capital Area Greenbelt to walk or bike along its 20-mile length. This linear park path represents a perfect opportunity to get some exercise while passing some of the city's scenic landmarks.

Check out the latest bestselling thriller or attend a small event at the Madeline L. Olewine Memorial Library on Third Street when you want some indoor enjoyment. Right down the street from the library, Zembo Shrine Center hosts community events and expos throughout the year. Watch for the annual circus to come to town every March. The central portion of this part of Harrisburg sits just two miles north of the heart of downtown.
