Hilltop Civic Association

 This September, Hilltop playground got a new play system – a result of a partnership between the Hilltop Civic Association and Haverford Township’s Recreation Department. Stop by, and you’ll see how popular the new equipment is!

HCA approached the township at members urging to replace aging equipment last year.  Earlier this year, the Township contacted us to seek recommendations for modifications. After a few meetings and lots of research by our chairpersons, Sean and Kate Stickel, (pouring over catalogs and watching kids play at other area playgrounds), we submitted our recommendations which were accepted by the Township.  Just a few months later, the aging pieces have been removed and a new, safer, modern play system is in place.

“What a great result – it’s only one piece but it is making a big difference to the kids in the area,” said Amy Clevens, President of the Civic Association. “I’m so happy we were able to help with such an impactful project.”  Amy went on to on say that the Civic Association hopes to see new trees, benches, and additional equipment at the playground in the future.

Thanks to Sean & Kate Stickel (Concord Ave) for representing the Civic Association, as well as Township employee Eric Gillard (Park Maintenance Superintendent for the Recreation Department) for their partnership on this project!
