Upper Moreland Officials To Host Meeting On Planned Woodlawn School Demolition

UPPER MORELAND, PA — The public will soon learn more about the plans for the former Woodlawn School when officials host a community meeting this month to discuss the scheduled demolition of the building and future goals for the site.

Upper Moreland Township officials will host a public meeting April 13 beginning at 7 p.m. at the Willow Grove Fire Station Hall to discuss the demolition, future planning, and redevelopment of the former Woodlawn School.

Patch reported late last year that the township shelled out $750,000 to purchase the former school building and turn the property into recreational space for the community.

Since last fall, the fencing had been encircling the property as it awaited a demolition date.

The ultimate goal is to create another four-plus acres to Woodland Park for the "benefit of all the Township," Upper Moreland Ward 1 Commissioner Nick Scull formerly stated in a social media post.

Woodlawn Park is located at 601 Division Avenue in the Willow Grove section of Upper Moreland Township.

Next week's meeting is open to the public. The Willow Grove Fire Station Hall, the site of the meeting, is located at 227 Davisville Road. Parking and entrance is in the rear of the building.
