MURRYSVILLE MARCH
FOR PARKS
The 2017 Murrysville March For Parks
was held at SportZone on School Road
South on the morning of Saturday, March
25. The March For Parks (MFP) is an
annual event organized by Westmoreland
County Parks and Recreation to
have fun while raising funds for park
improvements and trail expansion.
The first MFP was held in 2003, and
since then, the event has expanded
to three locations. The Murrysville
MFP, first held in 2014, focused on the
construction of the Turtle Creek Rail-
Trail. The funds raised and community
support shown at the Murrysville
Marches have significantly helped
Westmoreland County secure grant
funding for construction of the trail.
Past Marches have raised a total of over
$690,000, and the 2016 March raised
over $95,000. Funds raised are used to
match state and foundation grants, and to
leverage funding from a variety of other
sources. They have supported substantial
improvements to Westmoreland County
parks and trails, including construction
of an amphitheater, dog park, winter
sports area, Boundless Playground,
skate park, Dek hockey rink, community
gardens and trails.
