Nay Aug Park
Nay Aug Park is the largest park in Scranton, Pennsylvania, United States. An amusement park on the site closed in the 1990s, but a small amusement area still operates near the swimming pool complex. The park also houses the Nay Aug Gorge, the Everhart Museum, and two Olympic-sized swimming pools. At one time it also had a zoo. The name of the park is of Native American origin and means "noisy brook." Park The gorge The Nay Aug Gorge was created at the end of the most recent ice age and is a popular (though dangerous and illegal, where violators are slapped with heavy fines) swimming spot. In 2007 the David Wenzel Tree House opened with views overlooking the gorge and surrounding area. The tree house is designed to be fully handicapped accessible, and is the first of its kind in the area. A footbridge with views of Roaring Brook also opened in 2007. In June, 2017 access to the tree house was closed indefinitely due to structural concerns. The footbridge has been reopened in May 2019. The zoo The Zoo at Nay Aug once hosted the famous Tilly the elephant and Joshua the donkey. The zoo closed in 1988,
