First Public Meeting On Woodlawn Park Master Plan Slated For Wednesday

UPPER MORELAND, PA — Community members are invited Wednesday evening to participate in the first in a series of planned meetings to address the Woodlawn Park Master Plan.

The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at the Upper Moreland Township Building.

Township officials said that during the meeting, the public will have the opportunity to weigh in on desired amenities for the park space, learn about park facts and goals, hear about the partners involved in the collaborative process and more.

A master planning process has been in the works regarding Woodlawn Park, which currently exists as a 10-plus-acre space in the community that will soon incorporate the recently acquired adjacent former Woodlawn Elementary School property.

According to information provided by the township, the master planning process will identify indoor and outdoor recreational opportunities at the park, how to improve existing features and future locations within the park, how to improve recreational areas including passive areas and loop trails, how to coordinate with the township's overall parks and recreation system, how to appeal to the community's diverse population and varying economic makeup, and how to provide recreation opportunities for people of all ages and all physical abilities.

"There are no preplanned amenities for the park," the township wrote on its website. "All ideas will come from the public through the public input process. Community input is the key to a successful Woodlawn Park plan!"

The meeting will take place at the Upper Moreland Township Building, which is located at 117 Park Avenue in Willow Grove.
