The Unionville Community Park is now officially open for business after a short Labor Day morning ribbon-cutting ceremony with East Marlborough Township supervisors Cuyler Walker, Bob Weer, Buzz Hannum, and John Sarro, State Rep. Chris Ross, and State Sen. Dominic Pileggi. In a brief speech Mr. Walker acknowledged the generous state, local and private funding that helped the township purchase, plan and develop the 26-acre site, where a townhouse development was once proposed.
Afterward the officials set off for a stroll down the park's paved trails, which Mr. Walker noted are smooth, level and ADA-compliant.
The park is in the village of Unionville, on the south side of Route 82, behind the post office and firehouse.
Also attending the ceremony were East Marlborough Township manager Jane Laslo; township engineer Jim Hatfield; Barbara and Thelma Roney from the East Lynn Grange; Newlin Township supervisor Janie Baird; Bob Struble; East Marlborough police officer Bob Clarke; Unionville Community Fair president Danielle Chamberlain; several Unionville neighbors with their toddlers; many Po-Mar-Lin firefighters; and even two friendly representatives of the local canine population, who will doubtless be frequent users of the new park.
I had to confess that I have not yet explored the park, and I promised Jane Laslo I will do so.
