Lititz Springs Park becane a community park in 1956 when it was turned over to the community of Lititz. It has, however, been a park for over 200 years. The Lititz creek flows through the park. Per the website, the first reported use of Lititz Springs Park as a "pleasure place" was in May of 1778. In 1880, the Round House (oldest building on the grounds) was reconstructed in the park. At present, the Litiz Springs park is the site for the annual Fourth of July Fireworks celebration, has a replica of the Lititz Train station, a restored Reading Railroad caboose, playground area, walking trails, and hosts 2 craft shows, antique shows, and an art show, annually, as well as many other events.
