City Island (Pennsylvania)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

City Island is an island in the Susquehanna River between Harrisburg and Wormleysburg, Pennsylvania. The mile-long island is the site of Commerce Bank Park, the home of the Harrisburg Senators minor league baseball team. The island also provides family based amusements such as a miniature steam railroad, carosel, riverboat, children's playground, batting cages, miniature golf, a riverside village, a beach, and the Skyline Sports Complex. This facility is the home of the Harrisburg City Islanders USL Second Division soccer team and the Central Penn Piranha, a semi-professional football team which belongs to the North American Football League. The sports complex is open year-round to the public, and provides a multi-purpose sports field, sand volleyball courts, and a fitness center.

City Island is also the permanent location of the proposed Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame, adjacent to a multi-level parking garage and a planned CorridorOne regional rail station.
