New $126K Playground, Park Renovations Complete In Norristown

NORRISTOWN, PA — New playground installations and renovations at two Norristown parks are now complete.

The $126,451 project brought sparkling new playground equipment to Ackey's Park and Scag Cottman Park, which both had playgrounds more than a decade old.

“Municipal Council is excited to have updated recreation amenities for our kids,” Norristown Council President Sonya Sanders said in a statement. “Norristown has great parks, we want our children to enjoy the outdoors and these facilities for years to come.”

Renovations to the parks began back in the spring. The ADA-compliant equipment is made by Miracle Recreation and was installed by Lyons Recreation.

Officials said that several other park projects are underway in the borough, including improvements at Latshaw-McCarthy Field, the Norristown Recreation Center, and Riverfront Park.

Upgrades are scheduled in 2020 for Cherry Street Park and Bartasch Park.
