Welcome to Mercersburg Park Blog

Welcome to our park blog.  We are interested in creating a park in Mercersburg PA that has all the elements of a first class park.  Our initial intention is to create a playground, off leash dog run, a skatepark, and some picnic areas.  This will address many of the issues our town has right now without an updated and safe place for our children to play, our dogs to run freely, and our community to relax.  Our idea is to use the Tannery site, on Oregon Ave.  We believe that this site could be ideal for the types of recreation we envision.  It is central for all in the community, it is easy to get to, it has enough space, and with a little preparation can be a great park.  Of course there are issues that still need to be addressed, but overall it can work as we envision.  If you are a person in our community who would like to join us in our quest for a park, please consider supporting it financially as well as actively.  Come to our announced meetings, help us raise funds to build it, volunteer your time to help plan it, build it, and keep it clean.  All these actions will bring a great resource to our community with a maximum benefit to our community.  Contact us via Facebook at "Skate Mercersburg".
