The Heartbeat of the Community: Get to Know the Parks & Recreation Department

Ever wondered what goes into keeping your local parks running? Tune into this video for an inside look at the passion and challenge behind parks and recreation.

Join director Jessica Fox from the Warminster Township Parks & Recreation Department as she gives you a peek into their massive 420 acres of parks, the community events that bring people together, and the projects helping neglected space like the abandoned Shenandoah Woods, which was a 55-acre military housing complex in Warminster, Pennsylvania.

You’ll discover the difficulties parks departments face, like dwindling open space and limited funding, but also hear the joys of seeing bustling parks utilized every day by kids, families, friends, and neighbors. Jessica unveils plans in the works to sustainably and transform 50 acres of reclaimed land into native greenery, stormwater management trails, and storybook walks to engage future generations. You’ll walk away with inspiration and profound gratitude for your local parks and rec staff after seeing the passion that brings these spaces to life.
