Harcrest Community Park on Three Degree Road in Penn Township is set to expand this spring.

PENN TWP — The township parks and recreation committee has settled on a potential plan for new features to benefit residents who use Harcrest Park, and attract those who do not.

Doug Roth, township supervisor, said at the Tuesday, March 14, meeting that the committee considered five options for the new 17.5-acre parcel.

The five options, provided by Herbert, Rowland & Grubic engineers, were presented at the February supervisors meeting.

Roth said the committee decided on a draft plan that includes an ellipse with a walking track roughly the size of a football field, a large pavilion with a view overlooking the park, and if funds allow, a small, outdoor education center where nature classes could be conducted.
