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.
