Saylor Park

Great park lots of history plenty of parking & taccess the Ironton 5 mile loop trail is right here

Excellent park for picnic and walk. Wide paved trail with several benches along the way. A big park and parking lot.

It’s a really awesome trail right here, there is a loop and a spur. If I remember correctly, the loop is 6 miles, and the spur is 4 miles I believe. We love that they transformed the old train tracks into such a great place to get some exercise! The track is nice and wide. The hills are not horrendous. There’s definitely a few but it’s a gorgeous scenic historical route to be on. There’s a few roads to cross, on the spur More so. But they have crosswalks set up.

Visited the ruins of Saylor Kilns in Coplay, PA, which were built in the late 19th century by David Saylor, Father of American Portland cement industry. These vertical kilns, operational until 1904, played a crucial role in revolutionizing cement production in the U.S. Sad to see they removed the railway tracks instead of connecting it to other tracks.

Let me start off by saying that there is a lot of activity going on here including: bicyclists, joggers, 3 wheel bikers, & walkers! Now onto The Park itself... ABSOLUTELY STELLAR ATMOSPHERE, THE KILNS & THE STORY PLAQUES WERE UTTERLY UNBELIEVABLE & UNIQUELY CREATIVE... really makes you want to grab a trowel and some mortar & get them back into better condition! It is the perfect place to relax or go for a swim in the nearby pool!
