Pine Creek Park Playground Fundraiser
Help Us Build a Playground for Our Children's Future
For over three decades, the playground at Pine Creek Park on Yellow Springs Road has been a mainstay in Chester Springs. A generation has made their way across the monkey bars, jumped off high flying swings, and slid down the tan slide.
​
However, it is time to replace our aging playground.
West Pikeland Township is focused on providing a play area that includes:
​
Separate play areas for toddlers and older children
ADA accessible swing set
STEM activity table
State of the art safety features
​
While outside grants, donations from key township residents, and financial commitments from the township are extensive, they are not enough to cover the estimated $300,000 cost of the new playground.

BREAKING NEWS
January 13, 2026
​
The Board of Supervisors is pleased to announce that West Pikeland Township has been awarded a grant in the amount of $231,900 from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) through the Community Conservation Partnerships Program for the Pine Creek Park Rehabilitation and Development Project.
On behalf of Governor Josh Shapiro, DCNR recognized this project as outstanding recreation and conservation work that should be shared with the community. This significant award, combined with funding from an earlier grant and generous private contributions, will allow the Township to move forward with plans to create a welcoming and fully accessible playground at Pine Creek Park—enhancing recreational opportunities and quality of life for residents of all ages and abilities.
Funding for this project comes from a variety of state and federal sources, including the Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund, Environmental Stewardship Fund, and the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, reflecting DCNR’s commitment to strong community conservation partnerships.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to Ms. Ann Toole, who wrote and submitted the grant application on behalf of the West Pikeland community. Her dedication and hard work were instrumental in securing this important funding.
DCNR staff will be working with the Township to finalize the grant agreement and move the project forward.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support parks, recreation, and conservation in West Pikeland Township.​​
