Includes information on township parks and local athletic clubs and Scout troops.
Upper Salford Park
The Upper Salford Park, located at
the corner of Schwenksville and Salford Station Roads, offers something
for everyone. We have soccer, softball and baseball fields, a
volleyball pit and basketball nets. Playground facilities for our
younger visitors provide child-friendly challenges in a safe and well
maintained environment. Our pavilion has public restrooms, plenty
of picnic tables and charcoal grills for family picnics, and is
available to rent for private parties. There are 4 miles of
trails that snake through the charming butterfly garden, around our
various sport and recreational fields, and over the beautiful scenic
grounds with tables and benches for resting or picnicking. Our
annual tree lighting ceremony in December is straight out of a Norman
Rockwell painting!
Park Amenities: Soccer fields, softball fields, baseball fields, basketball nets, sand volleyball pit, pavilion with kitchen and restrooms, water fountain, walking trails with tables and benches, grills, natural habitat garden, gazebo and perennial garden, pond, paved parking and playground facilities for small children. (Additional soccer fields and parking are planned.)
