ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Cedar Beach Playground will be temporarily closed starting next week for renovations to keep the play space safe for local kids.
The playground is expected to be shut down for about four weeks, starting Monday, Oct. 26, for a safety surfacing project. Renovations are anticipated to be completed by Nov. 23, a news release says.

The City of Allentown is replacing the playground’s pour-in-place safety surfacing on the ground beneath the playground equipment.
According to officials, the existing safety surfacing has been patched over the past several years as it has aged and lost some of its ability to absorb the impact of falls.
The renovation project will replace the entire surface area.
Bucky Boyle Playground will undergo the same renovations in Spring 2027.
