Anchored by a combined greenhouse and conservatory, indoor and outdoor classroom areas and an open-air performance venue, and fenced-in dog park, the Garden celebrates the passion and foresight of those who were once buried here – young heroes of the American Revolution and the Civil War, abolitionists who led freedom seekers through the Underground Railroad, determined pioneers who settled 19th century Johnstown, founding fathers and first families and the generations of immigrants who followed to fuel the nation’s industrial revolution.

Sandyvale’s large open expanse of lawns has historically been used as a pet recreational facility. So in response to a growing community need, Sandyvale opened its gates to the area’s first official dog park. Training seminars, agility sessions, dog walks, “Yappy Hour” and other related events are offered during the summer months.
