ACCESSIBILITY
Warminster Parks & Recreation recognizes the importance of recreation for everyone. Many of our facilities are barrier free. We will, to the best of our ability, adapt our parks, programs, trips, and special events to make them accessible to persons with special needs. We invite physically challenged persons to let us know what kinds of adaptations we can make so that as many people as possible can enjoy quality leisure services.

If you have a talent or skill that you would like to share with others, please contact us. Instructors, especially those working with youth, will be required to have background checks.
GOT A PROGRAM, TRIP OR TOUR IDEA???
We are always on the lookout for new classes and programs to offer our residents. If you have an idea for a trip or program, and/or wish to become an instructor, please don’t hesitate to call us @ (215) 443-5428.
PERENNIALS FOR PARKS
If you are dividing your perennials in the spring, why not donate your "discards" to the Parks Department to improve our park landscaping. Just drop off marked plants at the WREC between March and May 15 and we’ll plant them. Or if you wish to help and install them yourself, just call (215)443-5428 and we’ll provide guidelines for where to plant in the parks.
