Slatedale Park, located next to the Slatedale Fire Station at 3922 Main St., Slatedale, is the newest renovation project for the Washington Township Supervisors.

The township first applied for a grant in 2018 and were denied. They reapplied and were approved in 2021 for a DCNR grant, which is a grant to assist organizations with funding for projects related to parks, recreation and conservation. They received $86,000 and supplied the rest from the township at a total cost for the renovation of $430,000.

The supervisors felt the residents needed a great park at this end of the township.

The project started with the tear down of all old and outdated playground equipment. It took about a year from planning until construction started. The new park is completed and ready for residents.

To go along with the existing baseball fields, there is a brand-new basketball court, pickleball court, beach volleyball court, all brand-new playground equipment and a dog park separated for large and small dogs.

The pavilion adjacent to the park may be rented by calling 610-767-8108.
