Tredyffrin Township was awarded a $112,842 state grant to help fund a bike/skills pump park, state Rep. Melissa Shusterman (D-157) said. The supervisors applied for a $250,000 grant following several meetings in which residents in the Chesterbrook community expressed an interest in having a bike track in the township. The proposed location for the bike park is Mill Road Park, 1400 Mill Road, a 55.9-acre tract that has a baseball field. “Young people in our community spearheaded the idea for a bike park, which will add an additional form of recreation in Mill Road Park,” Shusterman said. “By locating the bike park so that it is accessible via the Chester Valley Trail, we hope to encourage bike ridership and promote accessibility." Arthur Zadrozny, a township resident in the Chesterbrook development, who worked with the township in applying for the grant, said the remainder of funds for the bike park will come from fundraising events.
