Discover the History of Lake Lucy Park
Nestled within the serene wooded area of Lake Lucy Park lies a rich history, anchored by the iconic Lake Lucy restaurant founded by the late Raymond Mealy. With its roots dating back to a bygone era, the restaurant became a beloved cornerstone of the community, offering a gathering place where locals and visitors alike could savor delicious meals and forge lasting memories. Many locals remember the iconic fish mural on the floor of the building. Raymond Mealy's vision and dedication turned the Lake Lucy restaurant into a cherished landmark, creating a welcoming atmosphere that stood the test of time.
The "Lake Lucy Special" Train
Among the cherished features that once adorned Lake Lucy Park was the "Lake Lucy Special" train that circled the fishing pond, leaving an indelible mark on the park's history. Running on repurposed mine cart tracks, this train is affectionately remembered by visitors and is a testament to the ingenuity of its creator, Raymond Mealy. Powered by a reliable car engine, the train chugged along the scenic route, providing guests with a leisurely and picturesque journey around the fishing pond. Although the train has since found a new home, the memories of its nostalgic rides persist, weaving a tale of bygone days spent exploring the idyllic surroundings of Lake Lucy Park.
Fishing and Swimming Ponds
In the heart of Lake Lucy, Pennsylvania, two picturesque ponds stand as enduring testaments to the vision and industrious spirit of Raymond Mealy. Using a steam shovel, Mealy personally dug both ponds, crafting them with a dedication that echoes through the years. The first, a serene fishing pond, has become a haven for fisherman, its waters meticulously stocked with trout, catfish, carp, blue gill, crappie, and large bass. Families and locals alike gather by its shores to cast their lines. Adjacent to the pavilion, the second pond serves as a refreshing oasis on scorching summer days. This swimming pond, once a popular retreat for the community, resonated with laughter and splashes as locals sought respite from the heat. As winter descended, the same pond transformed into an ice skating rink, providing year-round enjoyment for generations of Lake Lucy residents. Today, these ponds stand as living reflections of Raymond Mealy's dedication, offering a timeless connection to the community's past and present.
