Tanner Park Playground Ready for Unveiling

John Farnen has waited more than six years for this day. On Sunday, Farnen, Elm Street Hatboro's vice president, will finally have the chance to welcome neighborhood children onto the new playground at Tanner Park.

After years of fundraising and planning, the long-awaited playground equipment is installed and the bright-colored see-saw, ride-ons, sliding boards and climbing apparatus beckon children and passerby of the Jefferson Avenue and Tanner Road park. The 10 playground pieces are geared for kids ages 2 to 5 years old and 5 to 12 years old. 

Besides the new playground, a lighted walkway has been installed for a more secure pathway for The Village Players of Hatboro patrons leaving a performance, or others traveling at night.

Tanner Park has also been completely landscaped with new trees, shrubs and annual plantings.

Come and see the newly made-over Tanner Park for yourself Sunday during its grand opening and dedication, which is slated from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. For more information on the event, click here.
