About
This GreenMap was created by a partnership between the Easton Environmental Advisory Council and the Mapping Urban Ecology course (Dr. Bonnie Winfield) of Lafayette College, Easton, PA. It identifies bike trails, pedestrian urban walking trails, greenways, parks, scenic views and by-ways, waterways, transportation facilities, enviromental amenities, green businesses, sustainable practices and other features, and regional linkages between these elements. It is designed as a method of public education about these features and as a tool for navigation. The City of Easton is beautifully situated at the confluence of two rivers, the Lehigh River and the Delaware River, the last undammed river east of the Mississippi River. The population within the City limits is approximately 26,000; Easton is part of the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ MSA approximately 800,000.

Eddyside holds one of my fondest memories of my childhood in Easton
It is where we spend out Summer days and learned to swin with
Joe Marhefka's swimming classes.
The snack bar was close by for cold soda pop, and pretzels.
We had metal swings and bars to climb on.
And, best of all, we had rafts to sit on and watch everyone
having a great time.
There was a long pier with a diving board at the end.
And often, we had canoe visitors stop by on their way down
the Delaware River.
What does it hold for the kids these days?

Not a recreation area by any stretch of the imagination! A good place to sit in the shade and watch the cars go by.
A wide open area with a lot to offer. The towering trees make this an enchanting place to explore. Great for young children because of the playground equipment. For those who need a little more space to run around there is a large grassy section of the hill that is just perfect!
