Click here for the Trail Challenge flyer.
The Montco Trail Challenge is a great opportunity for families and individuals of all ages to exercise, explore, and experience the traffic-free network of parks, trails, and historic sites throughout the County. Selected parks and trails throughout the County have been identified and assigned their own unique shape which is mounted at trailheads or parking lots. Upon visiting the listed parks and trails, participants have to find and correctly identify the designated shape, similar to a scavenger hunt. See the flyer for details to access the Montco Trail Challenge card.
Folks are invited to the Montco Trail Challenge Kick-off on Saturday, April 27 from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM at Lorimer Park, 183 Moredon Road, Huntingdon Valley, PA 19006 with a rain date of Sunday, April 28.
The event will feature a FREE helmet fitting and distribution for children attending the event on a first-come, first-serve basis. They will also have fun activities for kids, bike and pedestrian safety resources for families, and more!

Hockey Dek at Community Park
On March 7th, 11-year-olds Lilly Walter and Natalie Van Druff gave a presentation at the Board of Supervisors meeting to advocate for upgrades to the hockey dek at New Hanover Township Community Park. The Public Works Department will be assisting in making some upgrades to the dek this spring, such as fixing cracks and putting up new nets. The girls also announced that the Philadelphia Flyers heard about their vision and may possibly help contribute to some of the other improvements they are hoping for.
