Rep. Donna Scheuren has announced a grant of $61,700 for Upper Pottsgrove Township to continue the improvements at Hollenbach Park. The funding is part of the Community Conservation Partnerships Program (CCPP) by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR).

Earlier this year, Hollenbach Park received $200,000 from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED). The project is currently in its engineering phase and will feature a 1-mile ADA-accessible loop trail, new paved parking spaces compliant with ADA standards, acknowledgment signs throughout the park, and other amenities. Construction is expected to commence in 2025.

“I am so pleased to see this grant funding be awarded to Upper Pottsgrove for the improvement of Hollenbach Park,” said Scheuren. “Keeping our public and open spaces safe for all members of the community is critical. I know these improvements will help update Hollenbach Park so it can remain a great place to enjoy the outdoors in the 147th District!”

The DCNR's CCPP grants support various initiatives including planning, acquisition, development of public parks, recreation areas, trails, river conservation and access, open space conservation, as well as community and watershed forestry. These grants also promote regional and statewide partnerships aimed at enhancing resource management.
