AUGUST 2009 PARK & PLAYGROUND UPDATE
2009 has brought with it many park improvements and enhancements around the Centre Region. Fortunately for all park users, the Borough of State College and the Townships of College, Ferguson, Harris and Patton are always looking for ways to make these treasures more enjoyable. The establishment of and improvements to municipal parks are funded by the owning municipality; those park areas (over 4 acres in size) are then transferred to CRPR for regionally-funded maintenance and program services. For detailed information regarding Centre Region municipal parks, please explore this web site.
