Saucon Park — Attraction in Upper Saucon

There are two playground options in one area, 1 big kid swing set, 3 toddler swing sets, 1 parent/child swing, and climbing structures. Right by the playground, there are fishing areas, a soccer field, and an open field by what used to be maybe a hatchery. Plenty of walking space, I see plenty of people walking their dogs in the area. Looks to be in the process of cleaning up (high waters and erosion took some of the pavilions, and for that, the pool is currently closed since it's being used as a holding ground for concrete blocks from construction).

It is also visible from Route 412 at the new Industrial Park traffic light. This is the 4th year seeing...

Beautiful park with lots of fun play equipment! Lots of shade, we'll kept grass and creekside. Pavillions are super sturdy and old school stone. It rained for a bit but we stayed nice and dry underneath it. Tables are concrete tops with wooden benches all cemented into place (they can't be moved). Seats were spacious and plentiful. Was a bit tricky to get to the Pavillions as GPS was not accurate. If coming off 78, cross over street and follow the signage to the right. You'll follow the creek and see the pavillions/playground to the right. Keep going and then make a right on the bridge to go over the creek. Large parking lot with...
