South Whitehall Township provides our residents with year-round opportunities for leisure and recreational activities.

Located between two historic covered bridges along the Jordan Creek, Covered Bridge Park serves as South Whitehall Township's premier park (165 acres). This park has three picnic pavilions, four ball fields, four football/soccer fields, handball courts, volleyball courts, walking path, recreation center and public restrooms. The Jordan Creek is stocked by the Pennsylvania Fish Commission every spring.

The Covered Bridge Park pavilions can be reserved by individuals or groups. Applications for pavilion reservations must be made in person at the Public Works Building located behind the Administration Building (4444 Walbert Avenue). Our office hours are 6:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Permits are issued at time of application. There is a $100 fee for non-residents. Resident reservations are $25.

If you would like to fill out the application before visiting our office, click here to download the pavilion reservation form. We recommend you leave the date and pavilion information blank until the availability can be confirmed.

Reservations will only be taken for the current calendar year.

To help us maintain the park, we ask that you do the following:

  • Place all trash in receptacles.
  • Please check the area around the pavilion as well.
  • Remove any decorations that have been placed on the pavilion or the picnic tables.
  • Return the tables to their original locations

Your cooperation and help is greatly appreciated.
