NOTES FROM THE P&R DIRECTOR...

LTP&R is committed to providing the personal, economic, social and environmental benefits of parks and recreation! LTP&R is here to assist you with making the best use of our services, programs and facilities. Please let us know how we can help.

"Pennsylvania Recreation Plan Focuses on Connection between Health, Outdoor Activities"
Pennsylvania’s new five-year Outdoor Recreation Plan shows a need to change the way policy-makers and communities approach outdoor recreation in light of a changing population that is increasingly more urban, and whose children have been spending less time outdoors. To view the plan or for more information, visit www.paoutdoorrecplan.com ~press release from DCNR.

Get outdoors and explore what Limerick and Pennsylvania has to offer!
~~ Karen M. Hegedus, P&R Director

IMPORTANT NOTICES:
*Manderach Memorial Playground Area is CLOSED until Spring 2010 due to renovation.
*All park restrooms and fields are closed until Spring 2010.
