Park construction at long-embattled Tredyffrin property begins

Published Friday, June 12, 2026

A new park is coming to 355 Chase Road in Tredyffrin Township, the former home of the Picket Post facility, with completion expected in late 2026. The five-acre property had long been abandoned and was at the center of legal disputes in the township. Three years ago, a developer demolished a barn on the property that was built in 1890. The developer had purchased the property hoping for a zoning change that would allow for upscale condos on the site. But the township denied the zoning change, keeping it zoned for rural conservation. Tredyffrin supervisors seized the property through eminent domain last year.
