Morgantown is one of the most advanced cities of the Midwest. It is best known for the beautiful campus of West Virginia University and its ultra-convenient Morgantown Personal Rapid Transit, which has become a role model in mass commuting.
Being at the crossroads of America, the city is located in a gigantic urban jungle with easy access to major heavyweight cities like Columbus, Pittsburg, Washington, and Baltimore. Within this vast network of cities and towns, connected by major Interstates and State Routes, Morgantown thrives like a native flower. The Monongahela River serpentines its way from Pittsburg and touches the western part of the city.
The city is a museum of greenery with several well-maintained parks and arboretums. The White Park is the central park of the city adjacent to the children’s play area, the Jack Roberts Park. The Core Arboretum near the banks of the Monongahela is a world completely different from the hustle and bustle of city-life. Be lost in its labyrinth of trees and birds or pick a lovely fishing spot near the river. Another family friendly park is the Krepps Park with a huge public swimming pool. For golf lovers and club goers, you have the beautiful Pines Country Club.
