H.M. Levitz Memorial Park
 | In November of 1977, East Hanover Township acquired a 105 acre farm which was donated by Mrs. Marie Levitz with the intention of developing a recreational park to meet the needs of the area's residents. The farm which is named after her late husband--Herman M Levitz--is located approximately (1) mile west of Fort Indiantown Gap, off Route 443 along Park Drive in Grantville, PA. |

Included are two skating ponds, one for ice hockey and one for ice skating; hiking and biking trails; an archery range; badminton, volleyball, and tennis courts; softball diamond; sledding area; mini ski slope; tot area; and picnic area. |
