Re-opening

Clippard re-opened on September 18, 2010 In January 2008, the township held the first of several public meetings at a local elementary school to find out from residents what they would like to have at the new Clippard Park. Clippard has been upgraded from antiquated play equipment, three poor ball fields, one small shelter and no restroom or fountains construction for the park started in July 2009. Now after the reconstruction Clippard park now has a sprayground, a basketball court, two ball fields, a paved walking trail, a nature trail, three shelter houses, four shade umbrellas, two bathroom buildings, five drinking fountains, a doggie fountain, a new paved vehicle entry road, parking lots and landscaping. A Tony Hawk Foundation grant in the amount of $5,000 helped with the funding of the Grindline Skateparks-designed facility. The skate park design was reviewed and approved by professional skater and designer Tony Hawk.
