Do

  • Ron Belmont Pool Complex. This resort includes a main pool with a zero-gravity entrance that goes up to depths of six feet, a young children's pool that goes up to depths of 12 inches, and two plastic water slides (one open and one closed). There is also a snack-bar and outdoor dining area.
  • Haunted Dead End, 311 Gainsborg Ave. (Only on Halloween). Every Halloween, a group of family and friends set up one of the most freightening experiences for anyone who is in the area. This isn't your typical haunted house walkthough, yet more of a stage full of actors covered in the terrifying costumes, chasing around trick-or-treaters up and down the block.
  • Silver Lake. (During some parts of the winter). On the border of West Harrison rests Silver Lake, where with the proper permits and a small boat you can fish on the lake during the spring and summer. Also during the winter when there is a period of consecutive days under freezing temperatures, the lake will freeze and town officials allow people to skate on the lake.
