Trexler Memorial Park — Attraction in Allentown

I loved this park when i was a kid. I actually lived in the big house across from the duck pond. My brother and i had so many great memories of trying to sell acorns to the people walking by, feeding the squirrels, chipmunks and blue jays right from our hands, the family of foxes that lived under the statue and meeting all the wonderful people of Allentown who came there. I havent been there since i was 8 and im now 43 and i so love looking at all the new pics people post. It just brings a huge smile to my face and it gives new one to show my friends here in Phoenix, Az just how beautiful Allentown is. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has posted pics or to whom has visited my childhood home.

Just check on which days your able to take a bike, roller skates, kids power wheels etc..... P.S. Your not a loud to feed the ducks ( I may or may not listen...

Wide walking trails through variety of terrains. Large lake full of geese. Picturesque, but watch out for tons of geese poop, a definite drawback. Small hills to climb, from which you're rewarded for your efforts by a lovely view of the park below. On the weekends, it becomes crowded with hikers, strollers, families enjoying picnics, racers, bikers, dogs, etc. It's much more fun during times of relative quiet. There are stations with special, thick bags with which you curb your dog, nearly eliminating dog poop accidents. Parking lots are small; but, you can park along city streets. Public bathrooms are a wonderful addition to your experience. Beds of daffodils, tulips, and more are carefully tended, as are the lawns and trails: less litter and more natural beauty. Nice place to...
