Very nice. Well maintained with several species of birds. We even saw a blue heron (I think). My 3 year old really enjoyed seeing a baby bunny and the geese. There is a good length of trail and there are several places where it is easy to get right next to the water to throw stones in or watch the birds.

It is an amazing place. Its caring, and the nature is beautiful. Just do not go if there have been any tropical storms or some sort of flood, but it will spring back up in a few weeks or so.

They’re doing a great job of keeping the park clean during COVID for families to come and enjoy the outdoors.

Serene, places to sit and watch wildlife. Charming old stone pavilions from c.1950(?). Largest pavilion even has a fireplace. Several grills around, but Id suggest you bring your own if you have a portable model. Trophy trout stream when in season.Mood changes with population. Can be completely packed one day, empty another. Parking is across the street (and above the waterfall for ADA access).Please do not feed the ducks. Bread doesnt have enough protein and vitamins. Youre actually starving them by malnutrition.

Great place to take the kids for a short walk! We have also used the pavilions for church picnics. Great space to picnic, play lawn games, walk around. There is also a hiking path in the wooded area that is very nice.

I love the park been going there for 30 years now. Expect for mother nature changing the park is still the same.Man does have a very good job of keeping the park trees trimmed and regular maintenance of the plants and the park it self. Most appreciated.Safe to walk around with the kids and a handicap with a cane. That is really appreciated since it gives those handicap an ability to walk the park.I love the cross walk that was put in with bricks that is designed as the Star of Bethlehem. That is really unique. Very pleasing to see.Always nice to see all the different wildlife.I love how the sound of the water down the waterfall.Its nice small park that is easy to walk around. Walk in a circle and your pretty much done. No back tracking to get back to the car. Always plenty of parking.Thank you

This used to be the best park in the valley. Long gone are the days of riding our inner-tubes down the falls to the bridge and back again. Long gone are the days of walking across the rock damns without falling in. Long gone are the neat stone walls that used to line the creek on both sides. Whats there now is a sparce grass lawn, overgrown grass on the hill by the train tracks, slimy stones leading up to the westside falls pavilion, padlocks all over the suspension bridge and geese droppings everywhere which causes you to play hopscotch as you walk through the park.... Oh and a ugly mean sign announcing basically not to do anything but breath and walk through the park. If you want to see the falls, which will always be pretty, park behind them to avoid the long walk through the park avoiding all the geese droppings. That way you have less hopscotch to play.

Nice place for a quick walk. The bridge has a ton of locks on it which was pretty cool.

Review №36

Great for walking dogs (in the areas they are allowed)... However, the park must need more signage to alert other owners that their dogs must be leashed when on the trails.

Not a back place. Certainly some times of day are quieter than others, but the trails are nice, the area is nice. Big birthday party area especially in the warmer seasons, obviously. They have grills set up next to the covered areas. There are definitely worse places by far.

My kids had gone to a birthday party at skyzone and so the wife and I did a date night picnic. It was quiet, the water from the creek and waterfall was perfect, and just a great simple night out.

This is a great place to spend the day or just fish a little. The town needs to do a little bit more to keep the homeless guys out of the bathroom and stop people from feeding the ducks as it is not good for them.

Update. I have a question, is there a bathroom or at least a portajohn I cannot remember and Ive moved a bit out.of that area. Its a nice trail the ancient looking mill looks like a castle almost-edit man I was really into trails this past year. Big spaces and nice trails kinda crowded.

Like to walk the whole park for exorcise when weather is good. Has a couple pavilions that can be rented for parties. Beautiful falls at far end you can sit next to and enjoy. Parking is acrossed the street from the actual park itself. Nice for fishing.

Family friendly park with pavillions, grills. Lovely setting with the falls and creek running through it. They ask no dogs but there is a dog park across the street along with a walking/bike path through wooded area. Nice if youd like to enjoy a bit of nature right here in tbe city.

This by far is a beautiful park if youre there for a nice walk or to have a picnic parking is across the street the parking lot sometimes does get pretty busy but up above the park is a dog park ...3 sections and theres fresh water for your puppy and theres bags to pick up your dogs business I find it a wonderful asset in a great place to bring your dog

This is a beautiful well-maintained Park in the city of Bethlehem. The mill itself can be rented out for various functions. I recently played the bagpipes here for an eagle scout ceremony and was quite impressed with the preservation of the mill. Very nice venue for smaller groups.
