Phase 1A of the Manheim Adventure Recreation Park has begun. Phase 1A will be leveling
approximately 5 acres on Camp Woods Road for an athletic field and parking.
Manheim Township is elated to announce that the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has awarded a Community Conservation Partnerships Program grant to Manheim Township for development and construction of the community recreation park. The $200,000 grant award must and will be matched with local funding. Manheim Township will use their Recreation Fund for land development planning and construction/recreation equipment costs, along with General Fund allocations for equipment rental and payroll costs for municipal personnel performing the earth moving phase in 2009.
Manheim Township acquired a 20 acre parcel of land for a recreation park that is centrally located in the Township in 2002, with a prior DCNR grant award. Representative Ron Miller authorized a Community Revitalization Program grant in 2003, which covered the cost of the master park design.
The Manheim Township Recreation Committee held a student contest in 2003 at the Manheim Elementary School to name the park. Ryan Hertzog submitted the winning entry and the park was dubbed “Manheim Adventure.” Since then the Recreation Committee has been working diligently on various fund raisers including flocks of flamingos being hosted in yards of recreation fund donors and basket bingo events including the latest “Big Boys’ Toys” event.
The Recreation Committee members were also key in completing Phase 1A of the park development, which involved installation of a football field to both show DCNR the commitment of Manheim Township to establish the park and to provide a place for the Manheim Vikings football team to practice and play games during the planned construction activity at the Manheim Elementary School where they typically practice.
The current grant funding will be used to install recreational amenities including a baseball field, a playground area, a basketball court, and a cardio exercise walkway. The development will also include installation of parking areas, storm water facilities, a natural habitat learning area with walking trails and a park sign.
Manheim Township would like to express their gratitude to Senator Waugh and Representative Miller who supported the grant application and the following companies who have donated some or all of their services: Rettew Associates, Inc., for donated time in preparing the grant application; Hanover Land Services, Inc., for donating the preparation of an erosion control plan for Phase 1A; Osborne Construction, for donated erosion control fence for Phase 1A; Waggoner Construction, McGrew Equipment, James Ambrosious Paving, Wherley Excavating, and Bosley Construction, all donating equipment and/or man hours for the Phase 1A earth moving; Snyder’s Feed Mill, for donated grass seed for Phase 1A.
Manheim Township is extremely thankful too for the many residents who volunteered their time and talent to assist in Phase 1A development activities, and/or made donations of trees, equipment or labor towards the full construction of the park now coming to fruition. A special thanks to Dan Lucabaugh who donated many hours of his time to operate earth moving equipment during Phase 1A.
