Monocacy Park, , Bethlehem, is a great place to escape the summer's heat. Alyssa Ahner, above, and her son, Hunter, age 1, right, both of Northampton, enjoy the cool shade and relaxing waters of the Monocacy Creek. The park, 1554 Schoenersville Road, is the location of Illick's Mill, which has housed the Grtrude B. Fox Envionmental Center.
