Parks and Trails Volunteer Days
This fall, we plan to continue our work, but we can’t do it without your help. We have projects planned for September, October, and November. These projects require minimal equipment and zero knowledge. Our trained staff will work with you every step of the way.
Brookline Park Master Plan
Haverford Township was awarded a $100,000 grant as part of the Delco Greenways grant program. The grant will fund a Recreation and Open Space Plan for the township. The process will begin in September and be completed by next summer. Haverford Township has made over $3,000,000 in improvements to our parks and trails in the last 4 years with more improvements scheduled.
The HavaGood Trail News
Pennsy Trail Extension
The Township Commissioners approved funding for a Master Plan of the Brookline School property. The old school was torn down to make way for a new park. The planning process will involve multiple public meetings to solicit community input for the park’s development. In a well-developed community like Haverford Township the chance to design a park from scratch is rare. Residents in the Brookline/Penfield area are excited to see a new park in their neighborhood. For more information about the public meetings schedule contact the Recreation Department at 610-446-9397.
Visit the current news section of the Haverford Township website for information about dates, times, and locations. You will be contacted prior to the event with information about what to bring and where to meet.
The plan will provide a blueprint on how to develop and maintain our parks, trails, and open spaces. This process will involve significant community input from residents, civic associations, trail enthusiasts and youth sports groups. There will be multiple public meetings and a community survey to hear what our residents want. For more information about public meetings schedule contact the Recreation Department at 610-446-9397.
The long awaited work on the extension of the Pennsy Trail will begin early next year. The extension will include a pedestrian bridge over Manoa Road. The expanded trail will go from the YMCA on Eagle Road to the Llanerch Shopping Center on West Chester Pike. The new trail will provide pedestrian and bike access from the Llanerch area to Veterans Field/Skatium, Bailey Park, the Township Library, Middle School, High School and the YMCA. Look for updates in future HavaGood Times for progress construction.
In 2022, our volunteers have logged over 400 hours on the parks and trails in our township. As a result, we have been able to remove invasive species from miles of trails, plant more native species than ever before, and maintain previously planted projects. These projects promote biodiversity by offering food and habitat to native wildlife, reducing flooding and erosion, improving water quality, and providing access to high-quality natural space in our community.
