Sand Island Park

“It’s a nice view of the river from across the steel stacks. You can see a private pond and fish games for the kids and connect to D&L Trail. I did notice people camping out along the trails so just be safe.”

“When you get to the trail, it can be very quiet and serene. Overall, I enjoyed my walk. However, the canal was filled with trash, and I did have a few people come talk to me intoxicated at the first bench on sand island… nothing too bad, but it was a bit uncomfortable for a Tuesday afternoon; I would just be careful. I hope someone can clean up the trash as there was a lot of wildlife in the area I believe there are better entry points to the trail if you are going for a run. However, I am unsure where they are. I will update this when I find out.”

“Love this place! Great trails for walking/biking, lots of spots to swim and go fishing. Also some of the BEST views of the old Bethlehem Steel plant from the river. Its also one of the best spots to watch the Sand Island July 4th Fireworks.”

“Small nice park but have bugs”

“I haven't seen a bathroom like this in the 1st world. You've got gentrified university space, visitors to the Stacks, and locals that need this public space. What in the world is this city doing? I saw families deciding whether to relieve themselves legally or go in the bushes. Do something. Bathrooms are accessible with rubber boots, squat toilet experience, and/or extreme desperation.”
