The pond contains several species of small fish, and many children can often be found fishing there. Please remember to obey all Pennsylvania laws regarding fishing while using the fishing pond. Swimming is not permitted, as there is no lifeguard at the fishing pond. Please use the pond safely and remember to share it with your fellow park visitors. Memorial Garden
The High Acres Park Memorial Garden at the flagpole is a prominent feature as you enter the Park. The park is the third and final location to honor veterans from Barrett. The relocation project was a volunteer effort taking approximately three years. Bronze memorial plaques with the honor roll of veterans are secured to this double-sided granite stone monument. Each plaque represents a critical time in our nation’s history. High Acres Memorial Garden was designed and constructed by Ryan Stewart as an Eagle Scout project. He was assisted by Trip Dilger and the Barrett Township Maintenance Department. Benches were donated by Evans-Blitz Post #922 American Legion and the Barrett Township Supervisors. A bricked pathway leads to and surrounds the monument and flagpole. The commemorative bricks around the flagpole base were purchased by local residents as a donation supporting High Acres Park. The High Acres Memorial Garden now serves as a venue for our Memorial Day and Veteran's Day ceremonies. |
