Bertha Brock Park was founded in 1931 to be a public gathering place. With a host of facilities from rustic to refined, the park is a popular location for meetings, recreational events, weddings and receptions, family photos, and banquets.
A healthy trout stream runs through nearly 200 acres of beautiful rolling hills. Trails wind their way through the woods, rustic campsites are scattered along paved paths, and many playground and picnic areas can accommodate a quiet family outing or a major organized event.

Beautiful well kept park. We had our wedding here and the Palmer Lodge was absolutely beautiful. Only setback was another gathering was booked right next to where we planned to have our ceremony and they took it completely over so even though we paid to use it we didn't get to have our ceremony at the stone bridge. We managed to get some really nice photos there though.
Awesome place for an event or outing.
If you get a chance to camp and hike the grounds, it is a lovely park.
