Victory Park Upgrades on Track for June Completion
Construction is underway at Victory Park.

Improvements to Royersford’s Victory Park are moving forward, with construction on track for a June 19 completion, Borough Manager Donna Zeigler reported at Tuesday’s borough council meeting.

The project centers on redeveloping the park’s lower recreation area, with a focus on improving accessibility and updating aging features.

Accessibility Improvements Drive Upgrades

A central goal of the project is to expand ADA accessibility throughout Victory Park. Planned improvements include replacing the wooden stage decking and railing with more durable materials, installing ADA-compliant picnic tables in the pavilion, and adding accessible benches around the stage.

The gravel path is also being replaced with pervious pavement, improving accessibility while helping with drainage.

In the playground, most of the existing equipment — with the exception of the rock wall — will be replaced with safer, more inclusive options. The current mulch surface will also be upgraded to a poured-in-place rubber surface, creating a more stable and accessible play area.

Upgrades include improvements to the stage and pavilion area.

While the bulk of the work remains on schedule, Zeigler noted that some items, including benches and tables, are on backorder and will be installed after primary construction is complete.

Among the changes already visible, the merry-go-round has been relocated. A second merry-go-round is also on the way, officials said.

Opening Day Approaching

Residents will not have to wait until June to enjoy the park. Opening Day is scheduled for Saturday, May 9, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The event is expected to include live music, a petting zoo, food trucks, games, and other family-friendly activities.

A pie-eating contest between Royersford Mayor Alex Metricarti and Spring City Mayor Adam Alberico is also planned. Metricarti noted she is still working out her strategy.
