Chimney Rocks Park is a scenic hillside park located above the Borough of Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. Known for its natural rock formations and elevated views of the town below, the park offers a quiet, wooded setting for hiking, sightseeing, and enjoying the outdoors. It is one of Hollidaysburg’s most recognizable natural landmarks.

In 1994, Chimney Rocks and the surrounding property was purchased by the Borough. The site was developed extensively to provide for ease of access. Currently the site consists of picnic areas where concerts and other community activities take place. Many of the trails have been improved, and handicap access is available to the picnic areas and one of the overlooks. Safety measures such as handrails and public rest room facilities have also been added, making Chimney Rocks an ideal stop to relax and enjoy the dynamic vista offered to visitors.

At Chimney Rocks Park, visitors will find wooded walking and hiking trails, natural rock formations and scenic overlook areas that offer views of Hollidaysburg and the surrounding area, along with benches and quiet resting spots for enjoying the peaceful setting.

The Chimney Rocks site has historically provided Hollidaysburg residents a dramatic panoramic view of the Borough and its surrounding area. The rocks are also reproduced on the seal of the Borough of Hollidaysburg, and has a 20 foot high lighted star placed there during the holiday season.

Previously, the stunning limestone pillars atop the ridge had been visited informally by almost every resident with the physical ability to climb the face.

Many a resident will ask another if you have ever sat in the Chief’s seat, which is a rock pad atop the limestone pillars. Local lore claims the Chief of the local Native American tribe would sit in this area and view his tribe.
