The highlight of the Department’s year has been the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Phase I of Shiloh Hills Park. Twelve years after the first parcel of land was acquired for the park, Township and School District officials gathered with approximately 90 residents on a very hot and humid June evening to celebrate the completion of the first phase of Shiloh Hills Park.

“AUTUMN” – according to Webster it is “the season between summer and winter”; “the season when the leaves fall from the trees”. It is also the season of yellow school buses, football games, falling leaves and bountiful harvests. After the hot and humid summer of 2010, everyone is ready for the cooler weather of autumn!
Autumn is also the perfect time to travel – the weather isn’t too hot and the snow and ice haven’t arrived yet. The Parks and Recreation Department has several trips for you to choose from this season. Whether you are interested in seeing a show, taking a trip with “just the girls”, or traveling by land, sea or rail, we have the trip for you. Be sure to register early for the ever popular “Mystery Trip” ! |
Dancing on television has been around for a long time. From “American Bandstand” and “Soul Train” to the Solid Gold Dancers and now “Dancing With The Stars” and “So You Think You Can Dance”.The Department doesn’t have celebrity judges and no one gets voted off but what we do have are some great dance programs for all ages. From Toddler Tunes to Adult Dance Fit – all ages and abilities are welcomed and encouraged to participate in this lifelong activity.
The Department is also offering programs on retirement, the Spanish language, basketball, volleyball and first aid for dogs. The American Red Cross Babysitting Course and the S.A.T. Preparation Course are also available this season. These are both very popular programs so don’t hesitate – register today!
The fall season would not be complete without our special events! Our annual Fall Family Festival is scheduled for October 17th and will be held at Cacoosing Meadows Park. Bring the whole family out to enjoy food, fun and festivities among the fall foliage at the park. Our other special events this season include the Mother/Son Game Night, Breakfast with Santa and Santa’s Mailbox. Check pages 6 & 7 for details about these events.
On June 28th, the Township opened Shiloh Hills Park. If you haven’t had the chance to visit Shiloh Hills, it’s not too late to enjoy the natural beauty of the park. Autumn will be a spectacular time to walk the trails at the park, listen to the birds and see the myriad of colors as the leaves change and cascade to the ground. Park maps are available at the office or on our website at www.springtwpberks.org.
American Naturalist and writer Edwin Way Teale states “For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.” As we wind down from a hot and busy summer, please take time to gather your family together and enjoy some recreational activities either on your own at one of our parks or with us at one of our programs or special events.
Remember – “Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.” - Elizabeth Lawrence, Classic Garden Author
We look forward to seeing you in our parks and programs!
