Monocacy Hill is a valuable natural resource in this area, providing habitat for wild animals and plants, watershed protection and various kinds of outdoor recreation for the people of this region. With development increasing all around us, Monocacy Hill is one of the few natural open spaces remaining in the area.  MHCA assists Amity Township year round in maintaining the trails and facilities.  The work that we do allows area residents to enjoy this beautiful recreation area.

Everyone we know is asking the same question -- "where did summer go?"  As fall approaches on Monocacy Hill, we're planning lots of entertaining and educational events.  Go to our CALENDAR OF EVENTS and get involved with us on a hike, at "Amity Community Days" or at our Fall Open House.

Monocacy Hill Recreation Area is a 428 acre forest located in Amity Township , Douglassville,  PA.  This recreation area was purchased by  Amity Township in 1967 for open space and recreation purposes.   It features over 5 miles of woodland trails and is open year round for a variety of activities.
Trail maps and list of park rules are available at the park entrance on Geiger Road.
