HAVERFORD TOWNSHIP, PA — A new walking trail with scenic creekside views has been constructed in Haverford Township.
The township has completed a paved path runs adjacent to Darby Creek from Jack McDonald Field to Merry Place. Before this, the southern end of the trail in Haverford Township had a gap between those locations.
It was previously thought that connecting the trail would require bridges. But years ago, the township bought a private residential property between both fields on Burmont Road, which went up for sale after a flood.
Here's the new path, represented by the red marking on the map below:
Construction on the southern trail extension began two years ago. A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new path is set for 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday at Merry Place. Attendees are advised to park at McDonald Field.
