If you’re visiting Menlo Park Playground soon you may have to take a few extra steps if you’re parking in the MAC parking lot or on 5^th Avenue. Due to the Borough’s upgrades to the park play equipment in 2018, the insurance company required some extra safety measures to accommodate the structures that were closest to the road and parking area where cars would be traveling. The fence placed along 5^th Avenue and the parking lot will aid in deterring any vehicles from striking a child who may be on the equipment, should such an accident occur. This semi-perimeter fence is a standard safety measure for the residents and visitors to our park and was funded by Recreation Impact Fees from new home development. We hope you have been using and continue to enjoy the playground, zip line, swings, and hexagon climber! If you have any questions or comments please contact the Parks & Recreation Department at 215-257-5065.

Residents and visitors are advised that the intersection at 5th St & Park Ave is now a permanent 4-way STOP as of Friday, December 27th, 2019.

The 4-way stop is a result of a traffic study conducted and to help alleviate speeding and potential accidents at this heavily traveled intersection. Please obey the rules of the road while driving, thank you.

Public Works crews will make one more round of collection after this date, weather permitting, to collect the final time.  If residents place leaves out after the final round they will cause a problem for snow removal and residents could face possible fines as per ordinance.

Perkasie Borough Memorial Flag Program
For many years, the Borough of Perkasie has installed small American flags on the decorative street light poles around town. The Borough Council has decided to move forward with a commemorative program that will allow the Borough to install much larger flags. Supporters are invited to consider “purchasing” a flag and custom commemorative plaque that will be installed on a street lamp pole in the Borough.

Each memorial flag set purchased will consist of a 2 ½ foot x 4’ American flag, a spinner pole with gold top, and an 4” x 6” custom engraved memorial plaque. Each set will be installed by Borough employees. Custom engraving is limited to 20 characters per line, with a maximum of 4 lines.
