Tallyrand Park, Bellefonte

With Sunday's weather predicted to be 75 and sunny, I suggest taking advantage of it and getting outside (before it rains again!!). Where? Try Bellefonte's Tallyrand Park. 


Never having been to Bellefonte before, I imagined it as a small town with nothing to do, but I was mislead. While driving through one day in the warmer months, I could not help but stop in this gorgeous park.



Located next to a historical train station Tallyrand Park gleams in the sunlight. A gazebo, wrought iron bridge, fountains, and flowers are just a few perks of the park. Hundreds of trout swim beneath the bridge in hopes to be fed, while ducks quack and waddle around. Tallyrand Park is perfectly picturesque for prom photos, wedding photos, and the such. Its fairytale-like ambiance is quite relaxing on a warm, sunny day.




 Adjacent to the park is a train station with many out-of-use trains and tracks. Walking around is an interesting adventure here in Bellefonte. Being from the suburbs of New Jersey, this town simplifies life; no hustle and bustle. It is a humbling place that allows you to appreciate the little things. 
FYI - Denzel Washington's movie, Unstoppable, was filmed nearby!

Rating: 5/5 (Just go!)

  1. Sadly, Tallyrand doesn't allow dogs, so you'll need to leave your best friend home.
