New Penn Township small park refresh! Stopped by the new Grandview Estates Park (Cardinal Dr) this evening! Really nice to see some new equipment and especially like the colors. The play equipment here is also very young child safe. No helicopter parenting required for most.

Full disclosure, they aren't 100 percent done because the swings are missing, so you might want to give it a bit before checking it out. It's also a bit muddy because there's no grass or seed yet, but it looks great!

I know it's been awhile, but it's just been so hot that we've been swimming instead of park-ing! Stopped by the Cross Keys Community Park this morning and it was really nice! Decently well up kept playground (some plywood on and a broken slide) and pavilion, dog park adjacent, and it had a nice little walking path (gravel).

If you're in the area, definitely worth checking it out!

Penn Township is done updating the Allen Drive playground! It just needs cleaned up after all the construction, but WOW what an upgrade. This used to be an old splintering climber with some rust on the side and now it's a new amazing play structure for the neighborhood.

We live near this one, so I am beyond happy to finally have some playground revitalization nearby! My heartfelt thanks to Penn Township Public works for an amazing job on this one!

I don't know how I missed posting about it, but Park Hills School Playground got a recent update, as well! Thanks to SWSD and the PTA, there's an awesome rotunda and new play equipment!

Another great new addition to the area that my kids love, but please remember it's a school playground, so Summer is your best bet for mid day playing.

New Playground at the West Hanover Street Park!

I thought this was still under construction, because there's a large pile of mulch and construction signs, but this park looks ready to play!

While the kid in me will miss burning my butt on a big metal curly slide and playing in the thunder dome, this park definitely needed some love. The Boro did a great job with this redo! The equipment is nice and new and there's a lot of it. Definitely check this park out again, if you haven't been in awhile.

Beautiful day for a playground! Stopped by West Manheim Rec Park this morning and it looks great! New mulch and everything looks awesome. Super well upkept, kudos to West Manheim's Public Works!

Arbor Lane Park update is done! Everything has been painted and upkept and is ready to play on! They also added an overhead "overdrive" spinner, which is pretty cool.

The basketball courts are going to get re-painted and upkept still, but the playground equipment is all ready to go.

Looks like they just opened it, so try to tread carefully on the grass seed, but that's another park getting some love, which is awesome!

Not 100 percent Hanover Area, but we stopped at Dunedin Park (near 116 and 30 intersection past Spring Grove) today to stretch our legs!

Large park with a walking path and recently updated playground. The kids really liked the playground and open field area.

Standout here is they JUST built 2 pickleball courts, which I'm told is the new hotness. If you're nearby and looking for pickleball, definitely check it out. (Somehow I didn't take a picture of them. I blame the kids, lol.)

Sorry for the lack of updates, it's cold and everyone's been sick, but we finally made it out to the new Wirt Park today!

This place looks amazing compared to what it used to be, and I saw a post about the rebuild so major props to everyone who helped out.

There's still some construction areas, so probably more to come, but the kids really enjoyed to climbers here. The new slide is STEEP, but fun, haha.

The only downside is that the old park was 100 percent fenced in and the new one is not. Not a deal breaker, by any means, but something to keep in mind for you parents who reached out to ask about good parks for your "runner" children.

Northview Acres Park in Penn Township got some love and a little makeover! Used to just be some old swings, but they replaced them with nice new ones AND a really cool new climber/slide!

This is one of the smaller "tot lot" parks between Amanda Dr and Northview Dr.

Baer Ave park remodel in Hanover Borough seems complete! They removed the fences and I was told it's open for business!

Last night's storm moved a little dirt around, but Young's Woods looks like it's got all new swing areas and freshly up kept pavilions!
