Safety improvements at Freeland Public Park are progressing after Freeland Borough received $68,255 from the Greenways, Trails, and Recreation Program. This was announced by Sen. Dave Argall (R-29) and Rep. Jamie Walsh (R-117).
The Freeland YMCA is planning a new childcare center next to the park and is collaborating with the borough to ensure the park's safety for children. Planned enhancements include installing four-foot-high fences, adding wood mulch around playground equipment, and applying topsoil to eroded areas.
“Childcare is a necessity for working families,” said Argall. “This project is a key step towards opening this new center and will also greatly improve the park for nearby residents looking to enjoy the outdoors.”
“With this generous state investment, Freeland Borough is taking important steps to enhance the safety and well-being of the community’s children, ensuring a secure and enjoyable environment for families to gather with peace of mind,” said Walsh.
The Greenways, Trails and Recreation Program aims to support public parks' development, rehabilitation, and improvement.
