Delaware County Council aims to preserve local parks and expand open space for residents to enjoy.

The project received a funding of $200,000 from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. It will support the design and construction of the new playground.

Playground design company Kompan has provided equipment for this project and Foresite Concepts will carry out the general site construction.

Delaware County Council vice chair Elaine Paul Schaefer said: “Council’s appreciation of open space is evident in the dramatic expansion and improvement of the County’s parks and greenways,

“The County’s 2023 capital improvement program includes $9m for parks, trails and open space projects- including this one. And we have also invested over $17m in helping our municipalities invest in their own green spaces through our Delco Greenways grant programme.”
