Dansbury Trailhead
The trailhead advances the development of the Brodhead Creek Greenway and provides full access to the regional Levee Loop Trail, connecting multiple municipal parks and school district properties. The project provides additional parking to the most utilized park in the region and creates a scenic viewing area
The project is financed by the Stroud Region Open Space and Recreation Commission, a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and in-kind services of Stroud Township and East Stroudsburg Borough. The Trailhead has been designed by Buchart-Horn, Inc., Consultant Engineers and Planners. Construction is expected to start this summer.
Terra Greens and Glen Brook Regional
Parks Master Site Development Plan The Commission has engaged the services of Simone Collins, Landscape Architects, to conduct a feasibility study and master site development plan for the development of two regional parks. In 2005 and 2006, the Borough of East Stroudsburg and the Township of Stroud acquired two golf courses (Terra Greens Golf Course and Glen Brook Golf Club) totaling 335 acres for the purpose of developing the facilities and the surrounding 240 acres of municipally-owned open space into regional parks.
The project is funded by East Stroudsburg and Stroud Township with a matching grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
The Master Site Development Plan will examine the feasibility of alternate and complementary recreational uses of both properties, and will solicit public participation throughout the process. The last meeting for public input will be held Wednesday, April 23, 6:30 pm at the Stroud Township Municipal Building, 1211 North Fifth Street, Stroudsburg; all are invited!
