White Oak Park

Trillium. Wildflowers. And a particular groundcover. These are plants that exist in just one place in Pennsylvania: White Oak Park. The 810-acre park, located in McKeesport, has attracted the attention of botanists, as well as park enthusiasts. White Oak Park also features primeval tree stands, rugged hills for hikers, and recreation aplenty, in the form of a bocce court, ballfield, playground, off-leash area, and more. The wedding grove is a lovely event space and photo location.
