MORE THAN 110 YEARS OF HERSHEYPARK HAPPY

A Park for Workers

From the moment he established his community, Milton S. Hershey planned to build a park to create a more pleasant environment for workers and residents than any typical factory town of the time. 

Hershey Park formally opened to the public on Memorial Day, May 30, 1906 along the banks of Spring Creek. An ideal spot for picnicking, boating, and canoeing, the Park was landscaped with graceful trees and wooded groves that provided a shady retreat for thousands of people without being crowded. The original main buildings, a rustic bandstand and pavilion, served as a stage for vaudeville and theatre productions.
