YELLOW PHASE PARKS & RECREATION PROPERTIES UPDATE:

​

The Chestnuthill Township Board of Supervisors and staff have created a plan for our park properties in line with the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources; park properties including the "Chestnuthill Township Park", “West End Regional Park”, “Big Woods Natural Area” and the “Silver Valley Natural Area” will all open for trail use and passive recreation, although in accordance with State and Federal guidelines we encourage maintaining a distance of 6-feet from other trail users. The "Chestnuthill Township Park" will have new temporary hours, Monday thru Friday from 9am to 3pm and all playgrounds, basketball courts and volleyball courts will remain closed during this phase.
