Warminster Community Park Gets Free Upgrades From Trade Unions

WARMINSTER TOWNSHIP, PA — Warminster Community Park received some handiwork free of charge to help bolster facilities at one of Bucks County's top recreation locations.

Township officials praised the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America Local 167 for providing pro bono work, replacing the porch and ADA-accessible ramp at the park's WREC Building, home to the Parks and Recreation Department and the Warminster Tax Collector’s Office.

The project was made possible through the coordination of Warminster Board of Supervisors Chairman Kenneth Hayes, who connected the department with Carpenters Local 167.

Their skilled members donated their time, craftsmanship, and expertise to complete the much-needed improvements, ensuring safer and more accessible entry to the facility.

“The volunteer work at the WREC building is not the first improvement project local trade unions have assisted the Parks and Recreation Department with,” Hayes said. “Their contributions demonstrate the positive impact local skilled trades have on the quality of life for Warminster residents and visitors.”

In addition to this work, multiple local trade unions partnered with the township to repair Bank Shot Basketball backboards damaged in 2023.

These repairs were completed at no cost to the community, thanks to contributions from Sheet Metal Workers Local Union No. 19 and International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 21.

The trade unions stepped forward to restore specialized equipment, allowing residents to once again enjoy the unique and inclusive Bank Shot Basketball experience at the park.
