Discover the charm of ARMCO Park—A community staple in Slippery Rock for over ninety years. Originally created for employees and families of the ARMCO Steel Company, the Park is now open to the public and proudly owned and operated by the Butler County Family YMCA. Rooted in Christian principles, our mission is to build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all through community-centered experiences.
Open year-round from dawn to dusk, ARMCO Park offers something for everyone: PlayMill Playground, Pool & Splash Pad (seasonal: June–August), Full-size Basketball/Pickleball Court, Sand Volleyball Court, Community Firepit & Swings, Fishing Dock along Slippery Rock Creek and a 1-Mile Community Trail with interactive fitness stations.
Whether you’re planning a family reunion, picnic, graduation, company outing, wedding, or any other special event, ARMCO Park is the perfect setting. Reservations open the first Monday in January for the upcoming May–October season. However, priority is given to Entire Park Reservations, available for the whole weekend up to two years in advance! Facilities available for reservation include: Historic Dance Hall (now featuring an indoor serving area), an air-conditioned ARMCO Hall, outdoor Cabana Lounge & Catering Kitchen, as well as three outdoor shelters. Looking to stay overnight? We offer campsites, and starting in 2026, two cabins and a tiny house!
Come experience the tradition, community, and natural beauty of ARMCO Park!
