Amity Township is adhering to the recommendation of Governor Wolf and does not condone/recommend use of public recreation facilities for groups of 25 or more. Due to staffing, no additional measures are being taken to disinfect playgrounds, restrooms, picnic tables, fields or gathering areas. Please keep the national and state recommendations of social distancing and hand washing in mind while visiting Township Parks and the Monocacy Hill Trails. Reminder – Dogs must be on a leash! The National Recreation and Park Association has provided tips and information about keeping a safe social distance in parks and on trails during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you choose to enter any of our Township parks, you are doing so at your own risk. These restrictions have been recommended for Public Health & Safety and will remain in effect until further notice. These Recreation Re-opening Guidelines (PRPS Expanded Reopening Guidelines 20200523) were issued by the PA Park & Recreation Society. Thank you for your cooperation!
