Mercersburg Park Overview


The included pictures can let you all see a conceptual drawing of the proposed park.  While this is just  an example of what is possible, it shows our desired layout, the use of the land, and how it will make a little bit of something for everyone.  The three key aspects of the park are the off-leash dog area to the west side of the park, the modern playground with a handicapped accessible area, and a concrete skatepark.  Providing a safe, modern, easily accessible park in the heart of Mercersburg is ideal.   We are working with the town and hopefully soon the state to secure the use of the old Tannery Site on Oregon St across from Romeo's Pizza.  This area is level, open, and accessible.  It would be possible to work through any issue to ensure a safe, modern, and fun park.  With access for the handicapped, picnic benches, ample parking, and professional installation, this park can be the pride of the town.  We believe this park is good for the town beyond providing access for our residents to recreate.  A modern and well-kept park attracts families to our town, making home sales here more attractive.  Similarly families from the surrounding community will come here to recreate, spend their money, and increase the possibility of Mercersburg as a destination rather than a thoroughfare.  If this park interests you, contact us on this page, or via Facebook at Skate Mercersburg.https://www.facebook.com/SkateMercersburg?ref=hl
