Plans for a Community Park
Ross
Township is in the process of developing a park for its community. The
park is located on the property adjacent to the municipal building.
The land was purchased by the township from Jim and Jean Haney. The name
of the park will be the Ross Township Vanbuskirk-Haney Park which will
be depicted on a sign that is slated to be installed in the near future.
It is
proposed to be improved in stages. Phase I will be a parking lot located
on Anchorage Road side of the park. Phase II will be to create a natural
walking path around the perimeter of the park of which the road
department has been working towards.
Some
projects have been accomplished by some Boy Scouts as their Eagle Scout
projects which include an entrance through the stone row to the park
with tables and benches constructed and placed at the pond area.
This will
soon be a place where the residents can gather, meet others, hold
community events, and enjoy the beauty that our area has to offer.
Community Park Plans
Brick Pavers
The women
of Ross Club is continuing the sale of brick pavers at a cost of
$50.00 each. You can purchase one with your name on it or as a memory
paver. Please contact Jean Haney at 570-992-7416 if you would like to
know more about this project or if you would like to make a purchase.
The pavers are to be installed at a rest spot in the new park area with
a bench and a tree.
Keeping our community clean
Take
Pride in keeping your community clean
Anyone interested in cleaning up along
the roadways of their neighborhood is welcomed to stop by the Township
office during normal business hours to pick up trash bags for this
purpose. This can be a great and environmentally friendly way to enjoy a
beautiful spring day and take pride
in keeping your community clean.
The Ross Public Works Department
accepts tree limbs and branches every Monday 6:00AM to 2:30PM. This
is made into free mulch for township
residents.
