8. McDade Park

SCRANTON.   McDade Park, reclaimed in the 1970s from coal mining terrain, is now one of the city's top leisure destinations. Spread across some 200 acres, the park boasts an arboretum and gardens, open space, trails, sports fields and courts, picnic areas, and playgrounds. An Olympic-sized pool thrills local swimmers, and a pond stocked with fish lets kids test their angling skills. The park also encompasses the Coal Mine Tour and Anthracite Heritage Museum, along with facilities for summer theater performances.   (© 10Best)
