Just be aware that there are times that the lot does get full; however there is street parking. I was surprised that we had no difficulty with parking today. It was such a gorgeous, dry late Sunday morning. For parents with babies and young children in strollers (and for other "pet parents" using strollers) I have a beagle who has difficulty walking. She needs a stroller so I have brought her many times with it.... I don't have difficulty on the walking paths or in the parking lot... it's very easy for me which is so nice. It means I can bring both dogs with me alone at times (today was a super bonus because my husband walked our other pup). As far as wheelchair accessibility, I need to check it out more carefully next time. Having spent only a small amount of time in a wheelchair a few decades ago - I can relate to how difficult it can be to get around. I am pretty sure it's very easily accessible. I will check everything when I go back... The restrooms are pretty clean most of the time. It's nice that they are there!! There are many benches throughout the park. It's hard not to be "in the moment" and "mindful" while at this park. There's so much beauty. Today we saw many ducks swimming. And the sunlight against the bright blue sky...... Didn't want to leave!!

With grassy fields, woodland routes, historical structures, and a duckpond this green space has something for everyone. Well maintained paved walking and biking loops of varying lengths and elevation provide a customizable outdoor experience. If you arrive early in the morning you're sure to run into friendly local fauna who call this place home. Find Trexler's cabin at one of the trail forks, and head up the hill to find a monument to the man himself. There are no picnic tables around but there are ample benches for resting and taking in the sights, and there is a public bathroom near the parking lot.

No, this park wasn't perfect and I actually didn't dig the extensive paved unshaded pathway, but what I found most unique about the park was the many mature, gorgeous trees that had a fuller growth pattern than I've seen at most other parks. And yes, the creek is pretty and adds extra appeal, too. I was also glad to see young trees that had been planted in bare spots. There's a small but adequate free parking lot on Cedar Creek Rd, and street parking is also available. I hope this park continues to grow for generations.

Between this park and Trexler Park it's hard to decide which is better because each one offers a lot. At Cedar Beach you're talking four basketball courts, four volleyball courts, a half mile walking trail around Lake Muhlenberg, various picnic pavilions and of course the star of the show; the 1900 square foot destination playground which is one of the finest in the area even if some things after almost six years are starting to show their age like a few of the swings that are currently missing, but I digress. Not everything is what it could be with Cedar Pool being closed all last year due to a leak but at least it's not like in the 80's and 90's when Canadian Geese overran the park and made everything a giant cesspool of goose shit to the point that city would capture hundreds or even thousands of birds a year and truck them to other states. articles.mcall.com/1987-06-23/news/2570803_1_geese-goose-population-migratory-birds But, between the pool, the playground, the sport courts, the variety of trees and the rose garden across the street it's truly a beautiful place.

The 42 acre park contains an outdoor swimming pool, basketball courts, tennis courts, picnic pavilions, ball fields, a gymnasium, a band shell, banquet and meeting rooms and so much more. The pool hosts a swim team, swim lessons and lots of open swim time. Three massive events are held each summer. The antique truck show is in June. The Wheels of time auto show in late August and Das Awkscht Fescht event which I attended is held the first week of August. I was on location for the Pit at the Park barbecue contest but I was blown away by the most extensive car show, sale, flea market that I have ever experienced. The music was outstanding as well. Locals gathered early and set up their lawn chairs along the roads so they could view each car as it arrived. The park volunteers also organize bus trips and run weekly bingo. All facilities can be rented and 100% of proceeds are returned to the park to keep it going. Visit Macungie Memorial Park, it is a great place.

The reduction of mowing and over grooming has created a more natural space that is a joy to behold! Many people complain that they want it back to where it was -over groomed and mowed -however, we know better these days and people need to be immersed in nature in its true form and wildlife needs a safe place to thrive Only complaint is the litter left behind. Particularly by the fisherman. Empty hook bags, Styrofoam, worm, cups, and long dangerous strands of fishing line endangering wildlife. The labor hours saved from the former excess mowing & maintenance can be used to provide extra trash cans and have them emptied regularly
