Peoples Natural Gas Park

Peoples Natural Gas Park is a gated, 3.5-acre event venue in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, available to organisers planning private celebrations, public events and business functions. Its combination of indoor rooms, a covered pavilion and open lawn gives planners a choice of settings and layouts for gatherings of different sizes.

The renovated Community Foundation Oilhouse provides an indoor space that can be arranged with tables, chairs, buffet areas or displays, with the option of adding a small stage. Garage doors open onto the park lawn, making it possible to connect indoor and outdoor areas. The adjacent Polacek Pavilion has a stage, limited stage lighting and a green room, and can be set with seating, dining tables or an open area for dancing. The landscaped lawn can accommodate additional activities, vendors and event equipment.

The site is used for weddings, family reunions, birthday parties, company picnics, class reunions, church meetings, concerts, performances, small conventions, trade shows and expos. The venue also hosts public festivals and music events, with Heritage Johnstown producing some of the programme. Event organisers can discuss arrangements for available spaces, including alcohol service and bartending through the venue. Accessibility features include paved paths and a wheelchair lift inside the Oilhouse. A small parking area is on site, with additional parking available nearby.

Set beside Johnstown's historic Stone Bridge, the park offers a distinctive riverside setting close to downtown. Organisers can enquire with Heritage Johnstown about rental availability, suitable spaces and event requirements.
