Harrisburg RiverfrontHarris Park and Riverfront, Harrisburg, PAHarrisburg's first public park was established along the river bank, on about 4.4 acres, between Paxton Street and Mulberry Street. This park included the gravesite of John Harris, the settler, and was a favorite among visitors as early as the 1850s.
