Hempfield Park Rehabilitation
The Hempfield Park Rehabilitation has been a comprehensive overhaul of the facilities, fields, and amenities offered at our 93-acre park. The project started with a staff evaluation of the existing facilities and amenities at Hempfield Park. After numerous designs, the final master site plan was developed as a road map for future growth. This map was the catalyst for applying for various non-profit, state, and federal grants to support the rehabilitation project budget. The total park rehabilitation was estimated to cost over $10 million dollars in 2014.
Since the initial plan was laid out, the Township has worked tirelessly to achieve the completion of the rehabilitation project. The current rehabilitation of Hempfield Park includes:
- Construct a new amphitheater capable of hosting local and regional performing acts of all varieties
- Rehabilitation of the five (5) existing pavilions, including adding restrooms, and updating the kitchens
- Renovate the upper and lower baseball fields making a premier baseball and softball facility
- Construct a new pavilion with kitchen and restrooms
- Replace the aging playgrounds with unique, inclusive play equipment for all ages
- Improve parking, walkways, and accessibility for all patrons
- Renovate the park restroom buildings, making them accessible and modern
- Add sports field lighting to the upper baseball field and soccer fields
- Construct a user-friendly, accessible dog park
- Improve landscaping, infrastructure, and modernize the overall park facilities
- Make the park safer and more secure with modern security systems and adequate site lighting
This project has been a significant undertaking. We are pleased to keep you updated on our progress as the project progresses.
