Upper Chichester Township has been awarded a $200,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, which will be used for the revitalization and enhancement of Kingsman Park and its amenities. The grant is complemented by a $250,000 matching contribution from a previous grant from the county’s Delco Greenways Program, an additional $100,000 donation from Energy Transfer LP, as well as township funds. Improvements to the park will include installation of an ADA accessible path leading to the park’s equipment, installation of inclusive play equipment that will sit atop a rubber play surface, and incorporation of two pickleball courts and a bocce ball court. In addition, the grant will cover an ADA-compliant walkway and sidewalk, on-street parking, benches, and stormwater management enhancements.
