Palmerton Memorial Park Association

The Palmerton Memorial Park Association (PMPA) is a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and enhancing Palmerton Memorial Park for current and future generations.

Palmerton Memorial Park was created for the benefit of the residents of the Palmerton, Pennsylvania area in memory of local veterans who served in the military during World War I and World War II. Completed in 1947, the park stands as both a tribute to service and a lasting gift to the community.

Situated on 18 acres of woodland, the park features a large swimming pool and smaller wading pool, a bathhouse with office and refreshment stand, a small pavilion, a picnic grove with a large pavilion, and a wooded nature trail that surrounds the facility. For decades, it has been a place where families gather, children learn to swim, neighbors connect, and community traditions are celebrated.

Today, PMPA is committed to maintaining and strengthening the park, and especially the pool, as a vital community resource. Through careful stewardship, fundraising, and volunteer leadership, we work to ensure that Palmerton Memorial Park remains a safe, welcoming, and vibrant space for all.

We are proud to carry forward a legacy that honors the past while investing in the future of our community.
