FAQs

We get our name from the property that was a planing mill and lumber yard owned by the Edward Dambach Company. The Dambachs donated the land and funds to help create a community park.

The Evans City Park Authority is a self-supporting government run entity (business), created by the Evans City Council to oversee the building and operations of the park and pool. However, unlike traditional government Authorities such as “water & sewer” or “transit”, our Park Authority does not have a stable revenue base or receive any tax money to rely upon to maintain and update programs or amenities. For the 2024 season, the Evans City Borough Council has budgeted $5000.00 to pay the gas and electric bill for the park.

Construction began in the early 1980’s and the pool and park opened August 1, 1987.

Our mission is to provide safe, fun activities for everyone in our community and surrounding neighborhoods. These include daily summer swimming, private and group swim lessons, swim camp, water aerobics, Senior water aerobics, lap swims, birthday party packages, movies, playground, basketball court, volleyball court, horseshoes, tetherball, shuffle board and pavilion rentals for BBQs/events.
