Bring your family and some chairs and enjoy a day listening to the areas best bands.  This event benefits the Mercersburg Park Association.  Entrance is by donation.  Please don't park at the Inn.  We are still working on a shuttle service from downtown Mercersburg.

The Event on Sunday March 20th unveiled a plan for the use of the property located off of Park Ave. in Mercersburg.  The picture and overlays outlines a vision for the park, how many of the areas could fit in with an entrance off of Park Avenue.  The red line is the outline of the 100 year flood line, a place where we couldn't build certain parts of the plan like stormwater catchments or the skatepark.  Within those areas however we can build the off leash dog run, the play field and some other areas.  The dark red area near the parking lot is the community center.  Our thinking on the community center is it would have a basketball court, meeting rooms, bathrooms, and a kitchen/vending area for events.  The light area in the top left corner is a 10,000 sq.ft. skatepark.  All these areas including the parking, the fields, and buildings are able to be changed, and are used here as examples for how a park could look in this area.  As we progress we welcome your input into  making this park something for everyone in the town.  Help us make this a possibility by joining our group, donating resources, and providing feedback.  100% of our board has invested in this park.

Mercersburg Park Awareness and Fundraiser

This Sunday all day Flannery's tavern in Mercersburg PA will host an event for the Mercersburg Park Association to help us get the word out and raise funds for the park.  10% of the proceeds raised will go to planning and building the park.  We are officially registered with the state and the US government as a non-profit.  We have also finalized our board of directors and are ready to start up on the work needed to make this project happen. I hope you all can find the time to get down there and help us out.  If you can't and would like to help please feel free to contact us via facebook at the skatemercersburg page and we'll get you the needed information.

Executive Board for Park Elected- call for Board Members

In November the creation of the Executive Board was established.  Jason Cotton was elected as the President of the Mercersburg Park Association.  Clifford Pine was chosen as the Vice President, Ryan Smith as the Secretary, and Todd McGuire as the Treasurer.  In December and January the call was put out by these Executive Board members to find others interested in serving on the board.  The creation of standing committees and planning started for a gala fundraising event in February.  Currently work is being done on the overall plan for the park including pricing of each intended area.  If you are interested in more information please see our facebook page here.  The park association is much closer today to finalizing the legal and non-profit requirements and we should be established fully as a 501 c-3 by the end of January.  We are excited about the progress we have made.  If you are interested in contributing to our effort please contact us via facebook.  We will establish a website this year and email addresses, but for the time being facebook is the most visited area.
