Friends of the Allentown Parks – who are we? Have you been to our Allentown Cherry Blossom Festival or Allentown Woofstock? Do your children participate in Kids Gone Fishin’ or our Model Sailboat Building & Race event? Have you seen our volunteers collecting trash, removing invasive plants or beautifying Allentown’s parks?
In 2017 we organized over 60 park cleanup events, engaging over 2,500 community service-minded volunteers dedicated to keeping our public parks, trails and playgrounds clean and beautiful. We also continued our work on bird, bat and water conservation. And how do we fund these activities? Through grants and contributions from people like you who use and care about Allentown’s parks.
Please consider a donation and help us make Allentown’s great park system even better. Thanks for your support and we’ll see you in the parks!

During the past 175 years, Bogert’s Covered Bridge served the Bogert family and the Allentown community by providing a key crossing point over the Little Lehigh River. The ambience and history of this wooden covered bridge cannot be duplicated. As many have noticed, the bridge is in need of major restoration – a new roof, sideboards, interior & exterior painting, masonry work and much more. Friends of the Allentown Parks has heard your concerns and needs your support! The cost estimate for this work is $1.5 million. While we are avidly seeking grants, please consider a generous donation today and let’s keep Bogert’s Covered Bridge around for another 175 years!
Thanks for your support!
Bogert’s Bridge, built in 1841, is the only remaining covered bridge in Allentown. This architectural icon, located in Lehigh Parkway, crosses the Little Lehigh River joining portions of what was once the Bogert family farm. As we celebrate the bridge’s 175th anniversary, work is underway to restore this historic icon and Friends of the Allentown Parks is pleased to offer our limited edition holiday commemorative. A portion of the donations raised will go towards bridge restoration.

Our thanks to Heather Ames of the Coca-Cola Lehigh Valley Plant for graciously donating a rain barrel for use in one of Allentown’s community gardens. Approximately 1,200 Lehigh Valley 3rd & 4th graders attended Hydromania 2014 at Cedar Crest College and visited the Coca-Cola exhibit. There the students had the opportunity to autograph a full-size rain barrel. The barrel has found a new home at a community garden located in Jordan Meadows.
