Pocopson Township
Chester County, Pennsylvania
 

     At the Founders Day celebration on Saturday, September 15, 2007, the Township showed off two new facilities at Pocopson Park: the Tot Lot and Pavilion. The new Tot Lot features a spiderweb-like structure that encourages development of upper body strength. This equipment is geared to 5 - 12 year olds. To keep out littlest residents entertained, the Township also acquired a horse-shaped climber appropriate for toddlers. Originally shaped like a dinosaur, the design of this structure was modified to more accurately the Township's rural character. The pavilion, which is nearly complete, will provide a large, shaded area for picnics, Scout and community meetings, etc.  

     Pocopson Park on Locust Grove Road has been a wonderful addition to our community.  Many residents have taken advantage of the trails, tennis and basketball courts, and soccer and baseball fields.  Several local soccer teams are holding evening practice sessions on our field each week.  Two sports programs for children continued their camps again this past summer - UK Elite Soccer and the US Sports Institute. Check out their websites for more information www.ukelite.com and www.USSportsInstitute.com. 

       Our network of trails keeps expanding as new developments are encourage by incentive to develop trails on their new properties.  The Brandywine Conservancy has partnered with our township to develop a Comprehensive Community Trails plan that ties into Chester County Open Space and Community Trails Objectives.
