Park of the Week: Bethany Park

By Mary Monahan August 21, 2023

We’ve sculptures built around bikes, hearts, light bulbs and hands. The t-rex bike sculpture at Bethany Park is my favorite! I love that the dinosaur tail has his own wheel. Bethany Park is a large park and is unique with its outdoor and enclosed shelters that you can book for parties and special occasions.
