Townships Share Their Success Stories Picnic areas. A swimming pool. Township officials across Pennsylvania are finding that you don't need a lot of cash to develop successful recreation facilities and programs. In fact, in most cases, all it takes is a little resourcefulness - and the desire to make it happen.
Help is out there.
In fact, the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is offering more money than ever before to help townships improve and expand their recreation services, consult with parks and recreation professionals, and even hire professional staff. New guidelines are on the way that should help townships with parks and recreation facilities better comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Township officials are urged to let the state know what they think about its Greenways Plan and Program.
