Confirmed from Bethlehem Community Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

Community park featuring a clean playground and a mini-golf course, plus a baseball field.

well-maintained 9 mentions

“Nice clean and felt very safe nice park to have outside of small to medium sized city”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Nice quiet park with a beautiful veteran memorial in the center.”

We had our church picnic there this summer. Very clean park. Plenty of parking. Nice play ground for the kids. Basketball, horseshoes, miniature golf. The shelter which is rented out is very large with plenty of picnic table seating. Extra large BBQ pit and basic kitchen area. Also a volleyball net beside the shelter.

Nice small community park. It has 1 big covered shelter, small playground, mini golf baseball or softball field and a walking trial around the park.

★★★★☆ — Thom , Jul 2020

A great community park hidden away from busy roads. A putt-putt course, walking trail, playground and large shelter are just some of what you will find there. Very well maintained.

★★★★★ — Lynette , Jul 2022

Great, clean park with lots of space to run and play. There's a mini-golf course, so hopefully next time we'll remember to bring clubs and a ball.
