Welcome to Piney Run Park
Beginning on April 15, 2024, the east side access gate to Piney Run Park will be closed to vehicular traffic until further notice. This will allow this area of the park to environmentally recover given its heavy use in recent years. This access gate will continue to provide equestrian parking, since it is not permitted at the main park entrance. The main park entrance located at 30 Martz Road is available for regular vehicular traffic 7 days a week from 7:00AM to Sunset.

When you purchase your season pass, Piney Run Park staff will need to affix the pass to either your front bumper, your windshield (driver’s side), or the door jam of the driver’s door. Boat passes will be affixed to the boat itself (port side forward of mid-line), not to the trailer. Passes that are not affixed to vehicles or boats in this manner, will not be honored.
