Its just nice to go there & see the water & possibly even see some animals. On one visit saw a baby frog on a rock in the moss covered water.......then even a baby Praying Manris .....& a turtle & of course the family of EAGLES & many hawks & vultures.

Nice park when not crowded. Plenty of space, sports fields, lots of picnic tables by the creek and plenty of trash cans. Nice place to walk with options to expand to the Lehigh Sports Campus. Also connects to the rail trail that leads into South side Bethlehem.

It’s an awesome park, or was at least, back when I visited years ago with my church. I got baptized in Saucon Creek back in May 2008. The last time we came back was 2010 or 2011. Seems like a lot of churches would hold baptisms in the creek. Afterwards we would have bbq cookouts, swimming in the creek, and playing sports in the fields. It was an awesome time. I haven’t been back since so I don’t know if it’s still this nice or not.

A park should be inviting. It a shame how this gem has lost it shine from neglect. The city wrote it off years ago.

Saucon Park must have at one time been one of the prettiest places. It is still beautiful, but seems to get rather abused by its guests. And the Saucon Creek seems to have.had something happen to it in the last few years. The creek bottom is black from being covered with some kind of weed or slime. It is really sad to see. I dont think it is didymo, but it cant be good. I did get buzzed by a Bald Eagle while I was there, so that is cool. I just wish I could see some rocks and gravel vs. whatever has taken over the stream bottom. Update: It is a few years later and I dont see the same slime in the stream bottom. That is good!

I love this park. There are multiple swing sets and they have one of the swings that baby sits on one side and mom or dad sits right in front facing baby and swings too. Also past the playground its so beautiful by the river. The whole park has a perfect amount of sade so its not too hot for the parents when the kids dont want to leave. And one of the most important things is that there is no traffic by the park, the closest cars of in the parking lot but there are no roads by the playground so I feel safer bringing my son there.

This park is a gem that the City is allowing to deteriorate. Its a shame to not see it being used as the cultural Sunday spot for families. Grass is not being cut in all areas and playground is aged.

Secured by police at entrance. Clean place but a lot of mosquitos. You can fish, you cant swim and you can rent the pavilion. You can bring alcohol for parties but again, need to rent pavilion in order to reserve and do a party.

This is the first of Bethlehems parks, established shortly after the citys consolidation in 1917. It is situated along Saucon Creek (hence its name) and features places for picnics, play equipment for children, playing fields, and opportunities for exercise and walking.The park, with its alignment along a creek, is mostly flat. Parking is available in several locations.In 2016, the city erected park ordinance signs to ensure park users understand the rules and regulations for its equitable use. It may continue to receive increased police visits in 2017.

Great spot for all ages . Has something for everyone . Great for Picnics, there are grills around the park . All you need is charcoal and food . Great fly fishing for the Big Boys and a super park for the little ones . There are swings etc., castle house type playground, public pool, big soccer fields, and open fields for any sport.Lots of big trees providing good shade.Rest rooms available . 5 star park .Enjoy .

Beautiful Park! Especially so in the fall, nestled in an odd spot near 78 in Hellertown, there is a nice mix of playground, walking areas, and the stream and old brick constructs are adorable!

Easy parking for running/riding on the Saucon Rail Trail. Sunday’s they host a farmers market. Plus the police patrol frequently. Lately though kids have been throwing a lot of trash around which is annoying.Park has a playground, volleyball area with sand, basketball court, a pavilion, bathrooms and water fountains, even a doggy fountain.ETA: Thanks for finally fixing the mixup in addresses between this park and Water Street Park!

This is a biased review, but you cant beat home. haha. Saucon has seriously improved since the last director retired, as in, they actually care about it now. they have a football and baseball field set up again, and the pool is okay, but a bit older. lots of GREAT fishing. Its a less facilitated park, but if youre into it, theres lots of old ruins to explore

Ma

Its a great walking park, but thats about it. There are restrictions in place that prevent you from doing other things such as say flying a kite.
