Limerick To Begin Construction On New Kurlyo Preserve Trail

LIMERICK, PA — Construction on a new trail in Limerick Township will commence with a ribbon cutting ceremony this Saturday.

The trail will run through Kurylo Preserve, described by officials as a "sister park" to Limerick Community Park. It will run for about two miles to Limerick Community Park. Around three quarters of a mile of the trail will be completed in the first phase, according to the township.

The Preserve is on the Kurylo Farm property which Limerick acquired in 2007 for $2.8 million, officials said.

The $300,000 project is being funded in part by a $150,000 grant from the state's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, as well as Montgomery County's Green Fields/Green Towns program.

An event will be held on May 5 at 8 a.m. at the trail's entrance on 231 N. Limerick Road in Schwenksville. The public is invited to join.

State Senator John C. Rafferty, Jr., State Rep. Thomas J. Quigley, and the Limerick Township Board of Supervisors will attend the ribbon cutting.
