Confirmed from Bethlehem Parks & Recreation'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.
Family-friendly recreational area with an Olympic-sized pool, a playground and basketball and tennis courts.
What runners say about Bethlehem Parks & Recreation
“Clean, 1 mile walk on whole perimeter of walk way, breezy and beautiful birds singing!”
“Clean, 1 mile walk on whole perimeter of walk way, breezy and beautiful birds singing!”
“All the equipment is kept in excellent condition and there are many different activity areas for all ages.”
Kids LOVE this park! Many different areas including very high climbing structure with slides that scare me!, zip line, big unusual swings including ones for groups! Not as much for real little kids, but there is a little area for them. There are course many sports fields and gazebos and walking trails etc.
The beautiful park. There is no dog park but plenty of room for on-leash walking. There's functional exercise equipment and a huge playground. They were celebrating African American History Month with plaques every few 100 ft recognizing the struggle. The website wasnt functional but they tried.
Can't wait for summer. Such a fun park. Plash pad is ideal for little ones probably 6/7 years and under! Need to be a resident. Can bring guests. Always very clean. Plenty of shade. Bathrooms are old, but work. Staff is great.
One of the best parks in the area. Has all you want, trails, pools, huge playground, pickleball, basketball, and tennis courts and so much more. 100% worth the trip
