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.

They aren't making meth! The exhibits are educational, and show the consequences of not watching out for wildlife driving. As mentioned a volunteer effort, and the primary goal, is to get people who live in cities and elsewhere, to learn about biology, ecology, and seeing something different. So glad to have found this peculiar yet family friendly place. Signs educate you about the trout hatchery pools and streams. Nets are across them, to prevent birds from attacking/eating the trout. There are five species of these fish, and heron are in the area looking at them still. You can if you choose pay 50 cents to $2, for a bag of fish food. My best guess is it's some type of dog food like pellets. You can choose how much to throw in, and watching hundreds if not thousands of fish swarm at one time is fascinating. Outstanding for teaching kids cause and effort, or perhaps classical conditioning too. One tank the trout wait for these pellets left over to roll their way. If you can donate to help this place out, you can with the on site wishing well. Credit cards aren't accepted, but it's just a few dollars. Fully recommend!

First some history from the Internet about the site…read more "Coplay Cement Company Kilns, also known as the Saylor Park Industrial Museum, is an open-air historic site located at Coplay, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The nine kilns were built in 1892-1893, and used for the production of Portland cement. They are constructed of locally produced red brick, and are known as Schoefer vertical kilns. They were shut down in 1904. The Coplay Cement Company donated the kilns and surrounding land to Lehigh County in 1975, for a cement industry museum. It is operated as a partnership between the County of Lehigh, which owns and maintains the site, and the Lehigh County Historical Society, which provides educational services. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The Saylor Cement Museum honors David Saylor (1827-1884), the father of the American Portland cement industry, and the people who built this industry into one of the most important in the Lehigh Valley and the nation. Lehigh County was a natural spot for cement production. Cement is made from rocks containing lime, silica, and alumina; Lehigh County limestone "cement rock" contains all three ingredients. In 1866 David O. Saylor helped found Coplay Cement Company. In 1871, he received the first American patent for Portland cement, which is much stronger than the natural cement that had previously been produced in this country. Saylor's Portland cement built bridges, docks, jetties, roads, aqueducts, subways, and skyscrapers. By 1900 the Lehigh Valley made 72% of Portland cement produced in this country. The first kiln at the Coplay Cement Company was a dome kiln. Dome kilns were inefficient; they had to shut down often. In 1893 Coplay Cement built Mill B, containing the Schoefer kilns standing today. Originally enclosed in a large building, Schoefer kilns could run continuously. Soon, however, the even more efficient rotary kilns came into use. Mill B's outdated Schoefer kilns shut down in 1904, and Coplay Cement later used Mill B's buildings for storage." The four main things at Saylor Park would the remnants of the kilns, the playground, the community pool and it's a spot where you can pick up the Ironton Rail Trail. The key to this site at this point in time is trying to save the kilns. Lehigh County is trying to obtain the money needed to save the old furnaces which appear to be the last Aalborg style kilns left in the world. The current work being done at the site is due to a $200,000 federal grant with Lehigh County kicking in an equal amount to finish the work on Kiln #1. While nice, a full restoration of all the kilns is estimated at somewhere around $5 million dollars which is money that right now does not exist. Hopefully over time some type of public-private partnership can be formed to get the rest of the work done but in the meantime the site can be enjoyed at a distance and the Rail Trail that cuts thru the park is a fantastic repurposing of an old rail line that would never have been used again. If you go: The outdoor historic site, playground and Rail Trail are open daily year-round from sunrise to sunset and the Coplay Community Pool is open seasonally. Plenty of free parking is on site.
