Park Plans
The Ross Township Park and Recreation Committee continues to work on the park. A sign has been erected which reads ” Ross Township Van Buskirk-Haney Community Park”. It was made by one of our residents who donated his time and supplies. There is a one mile walking trail with benches for you to rest and enjoy nature, plus a pavilion with picnic tables that can also be used. a parking lot and playground equipment has been installed for you little ones to enjoy. The park rules are listed further down.
Some projects have been accomplished by Boy Scouts as their Eagle Scout projects which includes tables and benches constructed and placed near the playground and at the pavilion near the pond area at the lower end of the park.
We now have a place where the residents can gather, meet others, hold community events, and enjoy the beauty that our area has to offer.
