Bethany has a very special place “across the street” from the church building, our “Recreation Area”.

The recreation area contains a rec. building, lighted walking track, gazebo, picnic tables, outdoor water fountain, and a wonderful state of the art fenced in playground area.

This recreation area has a wonderful building that is perfect for meetings, showers, family gatherings, parties, whatever. This building has a large gathering room, a kitchen complete with a stove, refrigerator & microwave, his & her bathrooms, and a storage area. Out on the huge deck area, there is a grill that can be used along with the building. The rec. building is also where our boy scouts meet on Monday nights. Other civic groups meet here as well on a regular basis.

The building is available for use for church members at no charge, and is available to the community for gatherings to non-church members for a fee. The building is available on a first come first served basis, but as it should be, church or regularly scheduled functions take precedence. If you are interested in reserving this building for an upcoming function, please contact the church office at office@bethanypresbyterian.org.

Our walking track is well lit (lights go out around 9:30 – 10:00 pm), and is approximately 1/6th of a mile long (6 times around = 1 mile). It is a relatively flat track with a gravel type surface, and provides a nice, mostly shaded area to take a safe stroll. The walking track is open to the community and is well used, and well liked. We ask that the track be used for walking only, no bikes or motorized bikes, etc. please. The track also provides a covered outdoor water fountain for walkers. An outdoor bathroom adjoining the deck is provided for use of those using the track and the playground

Our Playground area is a state of the art play area. It is a safe playground area where the equipment, and environment have all safety features available. The play area is totally enclosed by a fence. A sandbox is also available inside the fence as well as a swing for the adults to swing in while the children play. This area is available to the community and has become a well loved and very well used area. All we ask is that you help us keep the play area clean. And MOST importantly, please abide by the age limits set forth on the play equipment! Signage is placed near the playground specifying age limits.

Our gazebo is lighted and has been used as a concert stage for outdoor concerts, and as a stage for weddings, parties, etc. Use of the gazebo for special occasions should be set up through the church office at office@bethanypresbyterian.org.
