Community Park

Community Park is a 52 acre park located west of the Township municipal complex accessible from Zucksville Road at the north end and Marigold Drive from the south. Community Park is a place for members of the community to meet and to develop relationships while attending a sporting event, walking the path, or eating lunch at one of the picnic tables. A restored log cabin, original to Forks Township, is situated on the northern end of the park complex, and is open to the public during the annual Community Days.

The park offers both active and passive recreational activities to refresh the mind and the body: a walking path, 9/10 of a mile, encompasses the park, with a fitness walk (ten exercise stations); four tennis courts and a basketball court; and benches for reading, people-watching, or enjoying the sounds of the community.

Lions Park

Lions Park is located on Bushkill Drive bordering the Bushkill Creek, and so named after the Forks Lions Club. This park, comprised of two small tracts separated by a wild meadow, provides the community with a quiet area to enjoy the beauty of the Bushkill Creek and to commune with nature.
