Limerick Township will celebrate the grand reopening of Manderach Memorial Playground on Saturday, August 15, just before the start of the township’s annual Community Day festivities.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. at the entrance to the playground at Limerick Community Park. The ceremony will mark the reopening of the rebuilt playground before Community Day brings businesses, first responders, vendors, and residents together for an afternoon of family-friendly activities from 12 to 3 p.m.
The Pottstown Mercury reported last year that the township awarded a $2.4 million contract to River Valley Recreation to replace the 27-year-old playground after heavy use and deterioration made some equipment increasingly difficult and expensive to maintain. The playground was scheduled to close in November 2025 for construction, with the replacement designed to improve accessibility for children with disabilities and be more accommodating to children on the autism spectrum.
