One of the plan recommendations was to create a community park to accommodate the recreation needs of this growing Township. In 1999 the Board of Supervisors purchased a 136 acre farm uniquely situated along the Conococheague Creek and adjacent to Martins Mill Bridge on which to build the Antrim Township Community Park. Phases 1 and 2 of the Park were developed and built between the years 2000 through 2004. Facilities included in these phases are 3 soccer fields, a large all purpose field, a large pavilion, a gazebo, playground, restrooms and over 4 miles of walking and hiking trails. Memorial Trail, located closest to the pavilion and restrooms is paved and handicapped accessible. Beginning in 2006, the Board again took initiative to continue improvements to the park. The majority of construction in phases 3, 4, and 5 began in 2008 and was completed in 2010. Facilities added in these phases include five softball/little league fields, two additional soccer/multi purpose fields, another pavilion, two tennis courts, one full basket ball court, one half basket ball court and a continuation of the access road to create a loop back onto Grant Shook Road. Construction of a restroom and concession building was completed in 2011 and the addition of a concrete courtyard area completed the softball complex in the spring of 2012.

The concept of adding a Disc Golf Course to the Park was first proposed to the Antrim Township Park Committee in May of 2006 by members of the 717 Flying Disc Club. Disc Golf is an active recreational activity accessible to people of varied ages and abilities. Similar to traditional golf, the course is laid out with 18 holes, each hole consisting of a launch area, a fairway and a basket. Players throw Frisbees or discs instead of hitting golf balls. Including a course as part of the park was approved by the Antrim Township Board of Supervisors in July of 2006. Volunteers from the 717 Flying Disc Club and others worked to make the course a reality and the Grand Opening was held on August 11, 2007. In 2012 the 717 Disc Golf constructed an expansion of the course. The Board approved the addition of 9 more holes in some unused areas of the park. The reason for creating additional holes was to have a portion of the course geared for beginners and recreational players. The original 18 holes utilizes very challenging terrain on the west side of the park. The new holes were completed in 2013. In 2013 a Dog Park was added. Dogs on leashes are welcome in all parts of the park, however, please make sure you clean up after your dog.
