McDade Park, created in the 1970s from reclaimed coal mining terrain, is now Lackawanna County's premier destination park with the addition in 2009 of the Boundless Playground. The playground is a large inclusive play structure that serves children of all abilities and needs. The centerpiece of the Boundless Playground is an apparatus full of swings, slides, places to twirl, games to explore and areas to climb. Other features of the park include an Olympic-sized swimming pool with bath house, a children's fishing pond stocked several times a year, basketball and tennis courts, a softball field, two pavilions, outdoor picnic areas with charcoal grills, and a 2-mile cross country running course and hiking trail system.
