Centerville Community Park located at 50 Penn Drive, Newville, PA 17241

Exciting changes are in the works at Centerville Community Park! You may have recently noticed the additions of a large climbing play structure and new swing sets, welcome boards, signs, additional bench seating with trash receptacles located around the park and a Pickle Ball Court. Paved ADA walkways have been installed to connect all areas of the park, along with ADA parking spaces at the pavilion parking area. Trees will be planted in the spring, with small picnic groves planned on the upper lot. We hope you will stop by for a visit, even with colder weather on the way!

These improvements were made possible by grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and Cumberland County Land Partnership Program, as well as support from the community.

The Penn Township Parks and Rec Board is in the process of creating a comprehensive plan outlining our goals and objectives in the development of recreational facilities and programs in the township. As we continue improvement and development plans for Centerville Park and other recreation areas, we are requesting your feedback on the types of recreation opportunities you would like to see.

Please take this opportunity to complete the following survey to help us identify your parks and recreation needs in Penn Township. The survey should take about 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
