First Responders Field Dedicated In Bensalem Township

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA —Let the games begin.

First Responders Field in Trevose is officially open for games and activities at 4668 E Bristol Rd. after an official dedication ceremony of the new Stadium Turf Field held by Mayor Joseph DiGirolamo, township officials, and dignitaries.

Councilwoman Stacey Champion, Township Director of Administration Bill Cmorey, Parks & Recreation Director Kyle Pennypacker, and Director of Public Safety Bill McVey were joined at the ceremony by First Responders from the Bensalem Police Department, Bensalem Volunteer Fire Department, and Bensalem Rescue Squad, Bensalem Republicans posted on its Facebook page.

The inaugural soccer match on the new field followed, featuring Bensalem's Fever SC Girls 2010 Team against the 2010 Girls of Vereinigung Erzgebirge (V.E.) Soccer Club of Warminster, all of whom also participated in the opening ceremony.

The Stadium Turf Field at First Responders Field is yet another First Class addition to the Park and Recreation facilities of Bensalem Township, as well as a wonderful addition to the recreational opportunities that Bensalem provides to its residents, especially our Bensalem Youth.

In December 2021, township officials unveiled a sign for First Responders Field, the former site of the Trifecta Sporting Club/German Hungarian Club.

Last March, the long-time project that was undergoing its transformation from the UGH Club received $1 million in state funding toward the park's renovations.

Before that, the Township Council voted to spare the former UGH Club from future residential and commercial development by preserving 15 acres.

Restoration of the park's soccer field, a renovated irrigation system, and a resurfaced parking lot were among the fixes to the park property that were made after the renaming.

The park will primarily serve as a place for local sports teams to practice, as well as for residents to walk and enjoy the outdoors.
