Committee recommends approval of WellSpan’s Get Outdoors summer program at Grater Park
Summary
The Community Services Committee recommended that Borough Council approve WellSpan Health Partners and regional libraries using Grater Park for a children’s Get Outdoors program from June 1 through mid-August 2026, including installation of a 4" x 4" post with a rubbing plate on a park tree.
The Ephrata Borough Community Services Committee recommended that Borough Council approve a request from WellSpan Health Partners and participating regional library systems to host the Get Outdoors summer program at Grater Park.
The program is proposed to run from June 1 through mid-August 2026 and would include installing a 4" x 4" post secured to a tree with a rubbing plate mounted on top for participating children to use as part of the hike-based activity. The Committee’s recommendation follows staff presentation of the request during the committee’s Jan. 28 meeting at Ephrata Borough Hall.
Committee members did not record objections in the meeting minutes; the item was forwarded to Borough Council for final approval. If approved by Council, the program would use public park space for scheduled children’s activities coordinated with regional library partners.
The committee did not list conditions related to the installation in the minutes beyond the recommendation; any permit or installation details will be settled during the Council review and permitting process.
