and Recreation Department will strive to enhance the quality of life
and promote the health, safety, and welfare of all

well-maintained recreational facilities and a wide range of programs
and activities targeting the recreational needs of the growing
Susquehanna
Township
community. |
| The most recent recreation land
dedicated to the Township is 2.73 acres located in the Apple Creek
Development along Paxton Church Road. Currently it is open green space
with future plans to establish playground facilities and other
recreational amenities. Future recreation land to be dedicated to the
Township will include 6+ acres in the Margaret’s Grove Development, 20
acres in the Waverly Woods Development and 4+ acres from the High Pointe
II Development along Crooked Hill Road and Shutt Mill Road. This acreage
will be added onto the existing Shutt Mill Park |
