Board explores Spring Run trail link with Messiah University for senior and community access
Summary
Staff and board discussed reconnecting Spring Run Park to neighboring Messiah University/Masai Lifeways property to create a trail link, with potential grant funding for health/connectivity projects and a plan to convene focus groups to shape design.
Staff described renewed talks with Messiah University and Masai Lifeways about a trail connection from Spring Run Park that would link neighborhood access to playgrounds and courts and could include senior‑focused fitness nodes and other amenities. The township sees multiple grant opportunities that could support connectivity and health‑focused projects; staff suggested convening focus groups with Messiah and neighborhood representatives to shape grant applications and project design.
Board members expressed support for the concept and volunteered for focus groups; staff emphasized that funding and public‑private partnerships would be central to moving from concept to implementation and that the township would pursue grants and partner contributions where feasible.
