Thank you for your interest in assisting with the planning of Upper Macungie Township’s Park system, recreation programming, and open space needs.

Over the next fourteen months, Upper Macungie Township will develop a Comprehensive Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan, which will serve the following purposes:

• Determine growth opportunities for the parks and recreation system.
• Evaluate the township’s management of its recreation programs and facilities.
• Establish goals and objectives for the township and its Parks and Recreation Departments.
• Identify the steps needed to achieve the goals and objectives of the plan.

The plan has been initiated in part because Upper Macungie Township has experienced a population increase of more than 30% since 2010 and is expected to grow another 22% by 2040. The township currently owns and operates nine parks and recreational areas that span 450 acres, with a new community center planned for Grange Park.

Residents will have the opportunity to provide feedback via a survey and public meetings during the course of the planning process. Please check the township’s website and newsletter for a link to the survey and future public meeting dates.
