“The Adventure Allentown guide is a tremendous resource for our residents and visitors,” said Director of Parks and Recreation Lindsay Taylor. “I encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the wide variety of recreational opportunities in our fabulous park system this fall and winter.”

The Adventure Allentown guide contains information on special events, youth and adult programs; city parks and golf; music and theater; the library and museums; healthy living and other useful material for city park and recreation services. The guide also includes a list of park amenities, recent and upcoming park improvements, event schedules and a comprehensive list of community agencies dedicated to youth, adults and senior citizens.
