MacQuarrie's Pond, located at Harborcreek Community Park, was dedicated on September 14, 1983, in recognition of Edward MacQuarrie's contributions to the development of many of the park's facilities. A centerpiece of the park, the pond is a resource for fishing and bird watching as well as a scenic highlight during activities such as hiking.
The park itself spans approximately 130 acres and features 12 baseball/softball diamonds, 2 regulation size soccer fields, a little gridders football field, and two completely furnished concession buildings, a playground, and 3 restroom facilities. There is also a 7/10 mile paved hiking trail and an approximately 1 mile wooded hiking trail.
