Wildwood Park was established by the City of Harrisburg in 1901 as part of the "City Beautiful" movement. The history of Wildwood includes a period of intense recreation through the 1920s, 30s and 40s with a zoo, riding stables and boating opportunities both winter and summer. Today, as you hike along the Tow Path Trail that follows a segment of the Pennsylvania Canal, you are transported back to an important time in Harrisburg history. Through the years Wildwood has become a nature study area with trails and boardwalks traversing four separate habitat areas and a haven for nature lovers and exercise enthusiasts.
