By Arnold W. Schmidt.
I recently read an article, and subsequent comments online, about a lot of concerns regarding a proposed park in the New Brunswick Road/Willow Avenue area. The 2012 park plan being discussed was 6 acres which would have meant clear-cutting many trees.
The new park plan is actually proposed to be on Willow Avenue across from Harrow Drive, about 200 feet from New Brunswick Road. This plan calls for about 10 trees to be removed, many of which are already dead. Most of the other trees in the area currently being discussed have already been felled by recent storms. The current plan is for a park of about one acre with a play area for children, exercise equipment for adults, a natural path that will be integrated into the existing wooded area and a small parking area. There will be no basketball courts, softball fields or dog park. There will be a crosswalk at Harrow Drive across Willow to the park. It appears the Township Council plans to introduce the new design at a Council meeting in January.
