Redbank Valley Municipal Park is located in beautiful Clarion County Pennsylvania, just 2.8 miles east of New Bethlehem on route 28. The 60 acre community park is nestled in a partially wooded area just a few hundred feet from the Redbank Creek.
The Redbank Valley Municipal Park (RVMP) offers many recreation opportunities for the whole family including camping, roller skating, swimming, tennis, ball fields, horse shoe & shuffle board courts, and a great playground for the kids.
RVMP is host to several annual community events including the Clarion County Fair, a Bluegrass Music Festival, and an ATV Poker Run.
A large reception hall is available for rental. It is ideal for Weddings, Fundraisers, as well as private roller skating parties.
Large picnic shelters are available to rent for your next family reunion, employee picnic or any outdoor get together.
The campground in Redbank Park offers full hook-up sites for your RV and tent camping. Water and electric primitive sites are available at minimum cost. Camp sites are available by the year, month, week, or day.
The Redbank Park Commission is made up of representatives from Redbank Townships in Clarion and Armstrong County as well as Porter Township, South Bethlehem Borough and Hawthorn Borough.
So come out and spend the day in beautiful western Pennsylvania at Redbank Vally Municipal Park.

Note from the Redbank Park Commission:
As the 2009 Park season begins we would like to take the time to thank everyone who made 2008 a great success for the growth and development of the Redbank Valley Municipal Park. The numerous volunteers and landowners who make the Poker Run happen, the Four Winds BMW Club members, the generous folks who make donations at our Bluegrass Festival, the good people who have volunteered for over 10 years to operate Friday Skating and the organizers of all of our Park events have helped generate the income necessary to carry on Park Operations. If you rent a shelter, campsite or skate party you have made a difference in helping operate your Park.
We also would like to remind everyone that every dollar made at the Redbank Valley Municipal Park beyond our operating expenses goes to the Matching Grant Fund, and now the newly created Master Site Plan Development Fund. Through 2007-2008 we have seen the completion of two major projects. First we are overwhelmingly proud to have completed the Master Site Plan of the Redbank Valley Park which details the full redevelopment of the Park and its structures. Please take the time to review the Site Plan online so that you may know with great confidence where your money is going when you support the Redbank Valley Park Commission. Second we are into the final steps of Grandstand Construction. After 70 years of service the original grandstand has been replaced. The new facility which seats 1136 yet takes up less space and is designed for further additions will be ready for use at the 2009 Clarion County Fair. We are truly blessed to have received funds from the DCNR as well as The Fair Association who were able to receive a generous amount of money through the Department of Agriculture. The remaining funds or cash amount needed to complete the project was provided through a loan taken by the Park Commission. In order to move on to the next development project the Park Commission must first pay off the debt incurred during the grandstand project. We will be seeking corporate sponsorship which will be acknowledged on a large entry way sign at the grandstand as well as individual plaques on the grandstand bleachers. If you are interested in helping the Park Commission pay for this extraordinary project then please do take advantage of one of the available sponsorship opportunities. For Corporate or Business sponsor ship contact the Redbank Park Office, if you are interested in purchasing a dedication plague use the form provided or you may also find a form at Redbankpark.com or contact the Park office.
As we continue through 2009-2010 the Park Commission will be redeveloping the Tennis court area with one new court including new asphalt surface, surface coat, lines posts and nets. The other court is currently planned to be separated and turned into a ½ court basketball court and one section left open for a general gaming area to be used for various games such as beanbags etc. This same project will also include further development of the playground. All existing swing sets will be removed and one new swing set will be installed as well as another toddler unit for children 2-5 years of age and several amenities. Adequate borders and safety surface will be added as needed. If you are interested in the details of this project or have suggestion, concerns or would like to volunteer to help please do contact us.
We Thank you, the good and generous citizens of our community for your ongoing support. We are always looking to expand our recreation and event opportunities please do join us if you are interested in helping make a difference and building the future for our community. Please feel free to contact the Park Office with any questions.
