PLEASE DON’T FEED THE WATERFOWL!
Parks and Recreation is working with the USDA Wildlife Service to protect the health of our park birds and wildlife. Please do not feed the waterfowl (geese, ducks, gulls, etc.). Feeding these wild animals creates dependence, promotes the spread of disease and upsets the natural cycles. The birds foul our shores, pollute our water and drive away timid species. Thank you for your cooperation.

AT WARMINSTER COMMUNITY PARK (WCP)
As WCP becomes more popular, the number of residents from Warminster and the surrounding communities who enjoy this new park continues to grow. We invite everyone to visit the site, take a walk, bike or rollerblade, play on the playground, picnic in the pavilion or relax by the pond. This 243-acre parcel was received as a public benefit transfer (free) from the US Department of the Interior with a real estate value of over $15 million. To the residents of this community who strive to preserve open space, the value is priceless.

Grant Update: In 2007, the Township received a $100,000 matching grant from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) to continue our Master Site Plan development of WCP. Final site plans have been submitted to the State for approval and the Department has already received an initial payment of $25,000 to move this process along. Businesses interested in making donations towards any of the projects in this grant cycle (dog park, labyrinth garden, basketball courts and maintenance facility) should contact the Parks & Recreation office.

TRAIL MAPS AVAILABLE!
There are now over 5 miles of paved trail at WCP! Maps can be downloaded from the Township website for personal use. These new trails bisect the park to create a multitude of walking, biking and running opportunities. Along the way, you’ll experience some hidden park treasures and enjoy much of the wildlife. Please note the posted trail signs for everyone’s safety! A map can be downloaded from the Township website for personal use.

BIRDERS - ENJOY THE PARKS!
In March, we had the opportunity to review WCP’s changing habitat with a representative of the PA Game Commission State Wildlife Agency. He was very impressed with our growing grasslands – some of the few left in Bucks County - which bring diverse and rare species of birds to our Community Park. In addition, Russ Neiger and the woodworking shop at Ann’s Choice have created and installed seven more blue bird boxes for WCP. If you are bird watching in the park, we would be interested in knowing what you are seeing to add to our ever-growing list of species. Send this information to recreation@warminstertownship.org. Take a look and let us know what you find!
