HAVERFORD COMMUNITY RECREATION &
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CENTER

Construction Is "On Time and On Budget" for the New Haverford Township Community Recreation & Environmental Center   

A local newspaper recently reported the headline above to describe the timely progress of the Haverford Community Center's construction. The new 35,000-square-foot Center will soon fulfill a long-held dream for increased indoor recreational offerings for Haverford Township residents. The new Center will be a dramatic and fitting addition to a park and nature preserve being developed on a 160-acre portion of the site of the former Haverford State Hospital. While the entire facility was designed as an indoor and outdoor environmental lab with plans to include solar, geothermal heating/cooling and bio-swales, the indoor facility also includes interactive energy consumption displays and nature labs for environmental education inspired by the site’s streams, woodlands and habitats.
