Veterans Memorial Park Complex Gets $125K Grant

MARPLE TOWNSHIP, PA — Marple's Veterans Memorial Park complex is getting a funding boost thanks to the Commonwealth Financing Authority, according to State Rep. Jennifer O’Mara, D-Delaware.

The complex is getting a grant worth $125,000.

Funds will be used to upgrade the park’s playground by installing ADA-compliant playground equipment, ADA curb ramps to the play areas and a rubber playground surface area.

“Senator Tim Kearney and I are thrilled to see that children of all abilities will be able to enjoy this community resource,” O’Mara said. “These funds will create a more inclusive play area for all local children to utilize together.”

The CFA holds fiduciary responsibility over the funding of programs and investments in Pennsylvania's economic growth. The CFA provides funding for various projects that help businesses succeed, including businesses focused on development, water quality, energy, infrastructure and more.

“I’m grateful that the 165th was selected to receive these funds,” O’Mara said. “These projects will bring the community together by providing everyone with the opportunity to get outside and explore all of the outdoor recreation opportunities Delaware County has to offer.”
