The Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation, the only non-profit whose mission is Pennsylvania’s state parks and forests, has received a grant from the Laura M. Smedley Trust through the PNC Charitable Trusts for the Blood Farm playground project at Oil Creek State Park.
The project will place play equipment in the Blood Farm area of the park. The new equipment will attract more families to the area and encourage more outdoor play and physical activity.
“The playground will be a much needed and appreciated addition to this beautiful area of the park,” said park manager David Hallman. “It will fit in nicely with the new interpretive signs we just installed, which were also a result of grant funding awarded to PPFF,” he said.
“Play is an essential element for children of all ages,” said Marci Mowery, president of the Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation. “We are excited to work in partnership with this amazing group of funders to make the playground a reality.”
