Welcome to AddParkland.org!
Marsh Creek Park should be enlarged.
More specifically, the park should be enlarged by adding a 100+ acre field next to the park's northwest
corner and another nearby 100+ acre parcel of fields and woods. The proposed additions border Brandywine Creek,
Chalfant Rd and Little Conestoga Rd. The proposed additions straddle Marshall Rd.

Other pages in this
web site explain why the park should be enlarged. The "Add Parkland"
page explains how the proposed addition can benefit the community. The "This OR That?" page
uses photos and text to show how park access might be enhanced by the proposed addition and how development might interfer
with public access. The "Families Threatened"
page explains how family yards and neighborhoods are at risk of degradation if the fields and woods are developed rather
than added to the park.
The rest of this
page notifies readers about opportunities to speak out in support of enlarging the park.
To express
your support for expanding Marsh Creek Park go to the "Sign Petition" page and the "Contact Information"
page. The "Contact Information" page provides phone and fax numbers plus email
addresses for influential government officials.

VALHALLA EARMARK NOT FUNDED!
GREAT NEWS: Valhalla Brandywine's $20 million earmark was NOT funded during the final weeks of the 2010 legislative
session.The failure to fund was reported by The Philadelphia Inquirer. Senator Rafferty's office confirmed for me
that funds were NOT allocated for the earmark. This development helps in two ways those who favor enlarging Marsh Creek
Park. First, the $20 million is now available for other purposes. The best alternative use is enlarging the park.
Second, we have more time to enlarge the park. Let's use the time wisely!
