A Lower Pottsgrove community group — the Adventure Grove Inclusive Playground Inc. committee — received good news at a recent township meeting. Joe Zlomek covered it for The Post.

Neighborhood efforts have been ongoing to create an inclusive playground and public park, able to accommodate children of multiple ages facing a variety of special needs.

The objective took one step closer to realization at a recent township meeting.

The Lower Pottsgrove Township Board of Supervisors authorized memo of understanding that the upper level of Sanatoga Park would be designated for the play site.

Sanatoga Park, on Sanatoga Road, Pottstown, already hosts play equipment, but its disrepair from age has rendered it all but unusable — even by children without individual challenges.

Township Commissioner Michael McGroarty caught onto the idea of placing this community resource in Pottstown and championed it.

“I felt, being on the Rec Board, that this was a worthwhile endeavor, and they’re working hard to get this done. Why not use it? … To me it was a no-brainer to partner up with Adventure Grove,” he said.

Funding is already in place, thanks to grants from donors that include the Pottstown Area Health and Wellness Foundation.
