Survey Introduction

Purpose, Background, Update
Thank you for your interest in assisting with the planning of Upper Macungie Township’s Park system, recreation programming, and open space needs. Over the next fourteen months, the township will develop a Comprehensive Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan, which will serve the following purposes:
  • Determine growth opportunities for the parks and recreation system.
  • Evaluate the township’s management of its recreation programs and facilities.
  • Establish goals and objectives for the township and its Parks and Recreation Departments.
  • Identify the steps needed to achieve the goals and objectives of the plan.
The plan has been initiated in part because Upper Macungie Township has experienced a population increase of more than 30% since 2010 and is expected to grow another 22% by 2040. The township currently owns and operates nine parks and recreational areas that span 450 acres, with a new community center planned for Grange Park.

This opinion survey is a vital part of the planning process and will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. The survey asks residents to consider existing strengths and future opportunities for the township’s parks, recreation, and open space needs.

Residents will also have the opportunity to provide feedback at several public meetings to be held during the course of the planning process. Please check the township’s website and newsletter for meeting dates.

Thank you for your time and participation.
