While walking different trails in the area, found this site that featured a huge playground area with newer attractions. Its a great site for younger kids to expend their energy, love the layout, great fun!

We had my granddaughters 1st birthday party there. We were in the pavilion in the playground area. Because of covid it wasnt crowded but there were families there. There is a soft padding for the kids in case they fall. Worth the trip.

Awesome park. Nicely maintained park and kids will have fun. Peaceful atmosphere. Only issue is the restrooms. One was out of order and in the other, flush wasnt working.

PLEASE IF YOU LIKE MY REVIEW PLEASE HIT THE LIKE BUTTON FOR ME...Everytime I visit Allentown Pennsylvania I make sure I at least make a decent stop at Cedar Beach Park. I also take the walk by the small man made water fall and dip my feet into the water to get in tune with nature. Also the rose garden park across the street is also a very romantic walk for those in LOVE!! I explored the playground for children which is a decent size. It has many entertaining part for children and it has working facilities and functional water fountains. The pond is very relaxing to watch as the ducks do their thing. If you get hangry take a walk to California Burrito and have a taco. Recommended!!! ***** Note*** There are garden snakes in this park so please do not let your children run into the wooded areas take a look at my pictures for the garden snake!!!! Thanks for reading my review dont forget to hit the like button!!! Thanks!!!

A massive park with beautiful landscaping and a much better playground than my generation was ever given. I couldnt say enough good things about this place. Its truly a place that needs to be experienced rather than read about.

Peaceful park to go for a walk on. Each time I walk through it, I always encounter a number of nice people along the way. Pretty trees and flowers all along the path, and the creek running through it is just the cherry on top. Very nice area to bring kids around to run or ride their bycicles. Also good for leisurely strolls with your SO. could use more benches, but thats about it. Very nice. Also the ducks.

This is one of the bigger parks I have been to in the area. This park has something for everyone. You can fish, watch the ducks, walk your dogs, go for a walk or run, just relax in the peaceful atmosphere, or let the kids run and play at various activities or playground. Great place and we will frequent this park

Unless they are having an event bring your own food. Great open park with a very nice pool area. I would give it a higher rating if it had a beach area to the lake.

Review №26

Great place to bring your kids. The playground is massive and has a vast selection of obstacles and structures to keep kids occupied for hours. Even has some sort of electronic 2 player music and light based game for older kids. Playgrounds have come a long way in the past 30 years. I have a 1.5year old and a 3 year old. The 3 yr old was capable of using the majority of the structures, but a little cautious on some of the climbing wall ladders.

This park and playground was my childhood paradise, my place of treasures and wonders never to be revealed..But whether youre an energetic youth, or an elder looking to relax, Cedar Beach Park is a great place to go. Kids enjoy the huge playground, while others can use workout equipment stationed along the running path near the stream. The basketball court gets a lot of use too!!Every year, an arts and crafts fair is held, so even if none of the entertainment listed above appeals to you, maybe a festivity from the fair will pique your interest

The park itself is nice and big but I never go because I have small children. On the weekends or afternoons it is usually very busy. Its filled with teenagers smoking and talking about things I dont want my kids to hear or hanging out in the parking lots. I never go here specifically because its difficult to kept an eye on my toddlers but if you have older kids it might be a great park for you.

This place is wonderful especially for kids! They also have stuff for adults on the other side (by the rose garden) when they want to work out. But they need cleaner restrooms that actually has hand soaps and is able to flush. Other than that, its a wonderful place.

This is, I believe, Allentowns largest playground. There is more than enough for the kids to do to stay entertained. This is the kids favorite playground, and its my favorite place to let them burn off some energy. There also a lake and a walking path all around it. We ride bike there and it walk. It is the perfect place to bring the family.

I really like Cedar Beach Park. Sometimes Im just out for a stroll but most times I like to bring my 4 yr. old to the playground ... she LOVES this playground! Regarding the playground, its put together quite nicely for what it is. Its VERY LARGE with lots and lots to do for the kiddies. I can almost guarantee that your little one will have a blast here. As with any place I review, just be mindful of the times and days you choose to visit, it can get very crowded and there are times when both the children and parents alike can loud, rude, and even disrespectful ... it happens. Keep in mind that this is not at all my usual experience, its usually quite pleasant and I generally enjoy my visits very much. So ... the playground is a definite A+, bring the kids and have a blast! Its clean, safe, quite large, and the kids will love it. The park itself is very clean, quiet, and easy on the eyes. It really is a beautiful park to visit. There is a playground, swimming pool, creek for fishing, volleyball courts, walking trails, and most things you expect to find in similar parks. There is even plenty of parking but that doesnt always mean youll have an easy time of it if it happens to be crowded when you visit. I would recommend this park very much and dont have anything to say negative enough to warrant not stopping by and at least checking it out. Remember to bring the kids, I assure you that they will absolutely love the playground!

Wow, this park is huge! We stopped here while we were in the area and I wish we lived closer so we could go back often. So many different contraptions for the kids to play on. I wish they had more baby swings but they did have these big cup-like things you could place your baby in and spin it. Just so many different things that you dont see at your normal park. They also have bathrooms on site. A short walk away from the playground and across the street was a huge grassy park area you could take a nice walk or just set up a blanket to relax. Overall very impressive!

This was an extremely fun park. First timers, summer 2018. Took an 11 yr old, 6 yr old and 2 yr old more than once because they enjoyed it so much. We didnt get to explore the lake or hike around because the play area was all they wanted to do. We did sit near a stream that lead to the lake while we ate snacks in the shade since the pavilion area was packed. It was nice, on site pottys worked fine. People were friendly.

We’ve traveled to this park from Bethlehem. The playground is incredible! Possibly the largest in the Lehigh valley? There are always kids to play with and at times can get very crowded. The playground is amazing with lots of different climbing experiences which my son loves. There is also a video- game type game which is good for older kids. The park itself is also beautiful.

Yacos Hot Dog Resturant, you will not be sorry about visiting this establishment. It is located in Allentown Pa.I personally recommend the dog with the works, an order of perogies, and chocolate milk. Maybe 3 hot dogs if you are hungry. I have been going to this restaurant with my grandfather back in the 60s and on to present.
