Why Lancaster County Central Park dries this way
Lancaster County Central Park (Lancaster & Lebanon, PA) rides on loam soil that drains well over terrain that holds water and dries slowly. Heavy tree cover holds the damp in, so it stays wet longer than the sky overhead would suggest. Loam reads that exact ground against live weather, rather than leaning on a regional forecast that can’t tell you what the dirt is doing. At 331 ft, Lancaster County Central Park rides SE-facing ground that soaks up sun through the middle of the day, which speeds drying and opens the season earlier; the gentle grade, around 2.2° on average, drains slowly enough that low spots stay soft after a storm.
