==Parks and recreation== [[File:Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania (8484096064).jpg|thumb|The Schuylkill Haven Fire Department in May 2012]] Schuylkill Haven has several playgrounds and recreation areas, including Green Goose on Jackson Street west of Avenue A, Saylor Street playground on the western side of the borough, Naffin Avenue playground on Naffin Avenue northwest of the public school district's main athletic field, and Willow Street playground in the northwestern corner of the borough. Other children's play areas are on Garfield Avenue, North Berne Street, Williams Street, and Fritz Reed Avenue. On South Berne Street is an area known as "The Courts", which features a basketball court, picnic benches, and a gazebo. Bubeck Park is located south of Columbia street near the Columbia Heights section of the borough. The park includes two pavilions, a bandstand, and a gazebo. Situated at the eastern edge of Bubeck Park is Stoyer's Dam, a man-made damn dedicated on May 20, 1984, and used for fishing and ice skating. The dam has numerous ducks, geese, and swans. The source of water for the dam is Long Run Creek, which enters on the western side of the dam after traveling along [[Pennsylvania Route 443|PA Route 443]] from the [[Friedensburg, Pennsylvania|Friedensburg]] area. Island Park, located south of Fritz Reed Avenue between the [[Schuylkill River]] and the [[Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad]], is the latest addition to Schuylkill Haven's park system. Island park is the site of fireworks displays in the borough. The park also includes two baseball fields, several soccer fields, and a large pavilion. It is also the starting point of the Schuylkill County Sojurn", a kayaking trip down the [[Schuylkill River]] from Schuylkill Haven to [[Philadelphia]]. The Community Center, also known as the Recreation Center or the Senior Center, is located at 340 Haven Street. Senior citizen events, biddy basketball, and internet access are available at the center. A gym and two rooms are available to rent for meetings, showers, and small parties. The center is handicap accessible. The Walk In Art Center in Schuylkill Haven features 15 on-site artists and three art galleries and offers educational programs and community events.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://walkinartcenter.org/index.php|title=Walk In Art Center|website=My Website}}</ref>
