Biser Fitness Trail and Walking Path


Originally donated to the Gettysburg Recreation Park by the Biser Family in memory of their sons, Chris and Kyle, the beautiful one mile Biser Fitness Trail and Walking Path winds its way throughout the 52 acre Recreation Park. Simply enjoy a leisurely walk in the outdoors or get those muscles and heart in shape using the 10 fitness stations along the way. Don't forget to stop and check your heart rate when you see the sign!

From The Parents
From 1959 to 1970 I was the evening Recreation Park Supervisor. Christopher and Kyle and our daughter Courtenany came to the park nearly everyday. Chris and Kyle Played Little League and Teener League baseball as well as Midget Football. Chris also played in the evening Recreation Basketball program. The Biser Fitness Trail is an opportunity for our family and the community to remember our son's love of the fitness activities they played as young boys. My hope is that families come to the Fitness Trail to enjoy fitness together.
