As an association of advocates for Cave Hill, we are dedicated to sharing appreciation of Carlisle’s wildest park. We work together to protect the unique ecological, historical and recreational values of this 19th-century trolley park and legendary cave on the Conodoguinet, and to develop a plan for it’s enjoyment in the 21st-century. As a unique green space walkable from town, Cave Hill will play a central role in promoting fit lifestyles and healthy relationships with nature among youth, and in complementing the redevelopment of Carlisle’s north side.
