Andre Reed Park

Park History

Situated in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Andre Reed Park (formerly Irving Street Playground) spans about 9.8 acres of recreational bliss. This local park is named after Andre Reed, an Allentown native who played in the NFL and earned his place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Recreational Facilities

For sports enthusiasts, the park offers basketball courts and tennis courts where you can work up a sweat or enjoy a friendly match.

On hot summer days, the relatively new swimming pool provides welcome relief. And yes, there are public restrooms nearby - because let's face it, that's always good to know.

Playground Area

The little ones haven't been forgotten! There's a playground with all the essentials - swings, climbing structures, and enough space for kids to burn off that endless energy.

The playground uses a mulch surface, which is pretty standard, but it's worth noting that the maintenance under the swing sets could use some attention. Safety first, right?

You'll also find walking paths winding through the park - ideal for your morning jog, an evening stroll, or just getting those steps in while enjoying some fresh air.
