Morrisons Cove Memorial Park encompasses 21 acres within the borough of Martinsburg. It was founded in 1915 when a group attending the Brown family picnic decided the area called Snyder's Grove would be a beautiful place for a park. In 1922, the Park was incorporated and dedicated, To commemorate the valor and heroic deeds of the brave soldiers of Morrisons Cove of all the wars in which the United States has participated, and to provide a public center for civic and moral instruction, recreation, amusement and promotion of athletic sports for all the people of Morrisons Cove.
In 1934 a multipurpose facility was erected to accompany
indoor activities. In 1979 the facility was razed and the present recreational
community complex was erected. The Park is a
non-profit corporation that is supported by the hard work and financial
generosity of the community. Little did those individuals know how much their vision would grow throughout the years! Within the Park you will find: · The Huntsman Bowling Center and snackbar - a computerized ten lane bowling center. · A multipurpose gymnasium - the only skating rink in Blair County.
