Welcome to...
  {Welcome to Your Parks}
 
Westmoreland County Parks and Recreation oversees nine parks and is a partner in the management of four trails maintained to provide visitors with a wide variety of benefits and experiences.  The parks are open year-round, providing walking and hiking trails, picnic and play areas, recreation programs, fishing areas, sport facilities, as well as plenty of fields, forests, lakes and streams. 
 
Welcome to your County Parks!

SATURDAY MARCH 31, 2012
 
9:00am - Noon
 
Keeping Westmoreland
County Green…
One Step
at a Time.

Saturday, March 31, 2012 is your chance to show support for our new recreation facilities in Westmoreland County such as the Franklin Dog Park, the Twin Lakes Winter Sports Area, and the Giant Accessible Playground. The place is Twin Lakes Park, where people from all over the county will gather to participate in the March for Parks.  The event is presented by the Westmoreland County Parks and Recreation Citizens Advisory Board.  Event hours are 9:00am to 12:30pm.
 
The theme of the 2012 March for Parks is "Picture this... YOU in our County Parks!"  In conjunction with this year's event, we are having a photography contest with fantastic prizes!  There will be three $150 cash prizes awarded to the best photo in three separate categories.  Winning entries will also be showcased at the March.  Entries are to be submitted on our Facebook Page.  For more details on the contest, click here.     
 
The money raised at past Marches has really made an impact in the community.  Currently, the Citizens Advisory Board and parks staff are hard at work finishing up the Phase II expansion project at Twin Lakes Park (the Dog Park is our last remaining component), and beginning to raise funds for Phase III of the expansion.  Phase III includes a "snake run" and bowl addition to the Peach Plaza Skate Park, as well as a multi-use facility that will serve as an ice-skating rink, deck hockey rink, and an amphitheater.   
{Bring your Dog}
Prior to the event, marchers collect monetary contributions to support the March.  ( In support of the dog park we are again encouraging dogs and dog owners to register for the March.)  Those marchers who collect $25 or more will receive a t-shirt.  People that collect over $100 or more will receive a gift card to Target.  The more you raise, the more the gift card will be worth.   
 
Walkers, runners and dogs may participate as individuals or teams.  Any group of three or more people or dogs can be a team. Organize your friends and family, your school, place of worship, or a community organization.  Get your company involved. Complete the team information when you register to become eligible for the engraved plaques that will honor the top fundraising teams. 
 
Marchers will have the opportunity to designate the funds they raise.  Choices include: Walking & Biking Trails, Dog Parks, Skate Park additions, Ice Skating & Deck Hockey, Amphitheater, or Land Acquisition .  Non-designated funds will be used where they are most needed.

DJ Dave Haering and Mike the Balloon Guy head the list of fun activities at the event.  There will be a picnic lunch after the March including doggie treats for dogs, and the event will conclude with a prize giveaway and an awards presentation.  Home Depot will also be sponsoring a kid
' s workshop at the event. 
 
Registering Online  is the quickest way to sign up for the March.  To receive a registration form by mail, call (724) 830-3950. 
 
So lace up those walking shoes, get your dog's leash ready, and head to Twin Lakes Park on March 31, 2012 for the tenth annual March For Parks.  The event is presented by the Westmoreland County Parks and Recreation Citizens Advisory Board.  To receive a registration brochure call 724.830.3950.
