Recreation Center Project Updates

On March 13, 2024, the Board of Commissioners awarded a contract to MKSD Architects of Allentown, PA, to provide community research, data and needs analysis, facility programming, and conceptual design services for the Springfield Township Recreation Center. The fee for this scope of work is $100,747.50. MKSD was selected at the recommendation of the Recreation Center Advisory Committee (RCAC) after a careful and deliberate process that began with the solicitation of a competitive Request for Proposals in October 2023.

Architects and engineers are currently evaluating the existing buildings to assess their condition and suitability for adaptive reuse. As part of the current scope of work, a recreation consulting firm will conduct a needs assessment and solicit a community survey. The firm will also provide recommendations for consideration and complete a financial analysis and budget.

Input meetings with stakeholder groups and the community have been scheduled and will occur as follows:

About the Recreation Center Advisory Committee

The Springfield Township Recreation Center Advisory Committee was established in January 2023 by the Board of Commissioners to guide the planning process for the future of the recreation center located at 1200 Willow Grove Avenue in Wyndmoor. Specifically, this committee will explore what renovations would be needed to the existing facilities in order to accommodate the current and anticipated recreational needs of the community OR if the construction of a new facility is necessary to meet the recreational needs of the community. If a new facility is recommended and affirmed by the Board of Commissioners, the Committee will guide the process for designing a new recreational facility at 1200 Willow Grove Avenue. 

MEETING TIME & LOCATION

The Springfield Township Recreation Center Advisory Committee meets on the first Thursday of every month at 6:00 p.m. at the Free Library of Springfield Township, 8900 Hawthorne Ln, Wyndmoor.
