Upper Moreland names contractor for Woodlawn Park; playground repairs and summer programs underway
Summary
Director Kate Kollar told the Committee that A.H. Cornell was approved as the Woodlawn Park contractor with a pre-construction meeting held and an approximate start date of July 6, 2026. She also reported playground safety-surface reconstruction at Broughton Park, Senior Games participation and that supervised summer playground programs have begun.
At the June 15 meeting, Kate Kollar, Director of the Parks and Recreation Department, reported several operational updates: the Committee approved A.H. Cornell as the contractor for the Woodlawn Park project, a pre-construction meeting was held, and "the start date is approximately July 6, 2026," she said. The report included a sequence of maintenance and program updates affecting several Township parks.
Kollar said maintenance crews are reconstructing the safety surface on the newly installed playground at Broughton Park. She noted that the Golden Age Club hosted a Senior Scam Prevention Program led by an Upper Moreland Police Department officer, and that supervised summer playground programs have begun and are running well. The Director also served as chairperson for the 40th Anniversary Montgomery County Senior Games, which she said welcomed about 400 participants and received regional media coverage.
Why it matters: the Woodlawn Park contract and start date set the timetable for capital construction in the Township parks system; playground repairs and summer programs affect public access and safety across multiple neighborhoods.
