Kirby Park is beautifully maintained and is thriving with life. The squirrels are very active and playful in the old growth trees that are throughout the park. There is a trail that circles the entire park with hills on both sides. A playground for the children. Multiple places to host gatherings. Volleyball nets in the summer as well as tennis courts. A pond that often has ducks and geese as well as some small minnows. The rest of the park is a lot of open space and grassy areas which give a lot of space for running around or open play.

Love this park. It's clean with lots of trash receptacles. Most ppl clean up after their dogs. Lots of space for kids and dogs to play or just walk around if you like.

So this is a large property with pond, ball fields, tennis courts, playgrounds and more. The park is interconnected to other parks along the river/Levee trail system. Park was clean, well maintained and well lit. I had full bars of Verizon 4G LTE Roaming.

Wow has this park changed. Although there is still work to be done the park is a gem for Wilkes-Barre and surrounding communities. The addition-upgrades to the playground for the children are top notch. The beautiful trees provided awesome shade on a summer day. The walking trails and grassy areas just invite you to enjoy a day or couple of hours of relaxation.
