Macclesfield Park Master Plan

Lower Makefield Township recently adopted a new Parks and Recreation Play for All Master Plan and part of the plan is the rehabilitation of Macclesfield Park due to its high traffic, congestion, and overuse. The intent of this work will be to study and address the issues within Macclesfield Park and to create a plan moving forward that meets the needs of our sports groups and the community.

ow that the use of the park has greatly increased and the demand for space is greater than ever it is important to reevaluate. The use and layout of the park for the optimal user experience for user groups, neighbors, and park goers.

The Board of Supervisors selected Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc. (JMT) for this project. JMT is equipped with highly trained and specialized professionals to study site capacity, proper parking and circulation for optimal use, ball field revitalization and support facilities to include pavilions, other recreation amenities, restrooms, and lighting.

The purpose of this would be to devise solutions for community and league needs for ball fields and support facilities such as parking circulation. In the end the master development plan should determine the capacity of the site for ballfields, parking, and circulation and recommendations should be made for improving the park for sports leagues, and park use during the non-organized hours.
