Westtown Township’s 2021 Master Park Plan called for improving the most utilized area of Oakbourne Park, which provides active recreational opportunities. On Oct. 1, after three years of planning, grant applications, engineering and construction, township supervisors held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of $6 million of improvements. The upgrades included ADA-compliant facilities, a new restroom, a picnic pavilion, a playground area, pickleball courts, renovated basketball and tennis courts, paved trails, batting cages, interpretive signage, parking areas and benches, and a stormwater management facility. The project was made possible with the assistance of several grants, including $1.5 million from the Community Conservation Partnerships Program administered by the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
