SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK For a "PDF Information Sheet" please click here. Click here for the Parks & Recreation survey results. The Upper Southampton Township Parks and Recreation Department (P&R) administers a number of park and recreation related facilities and programs. Tamanend Park, located off Second Street Pike, was part of the William Penn land acquisition of 1683 from Chief Tamanend. In 1975, the Upper Southampton Township and Centennial School District joined to purchase Tamanend Park, part of the former Leedom homestead, for nearly one million dollars. The school district built Klinger Middle School on a portion of the land, while the rest is used for our natural park and recreation areas. The farmhouse in the park may date back nearly 300 years, while the carriage house dates back to the early 1800s. The carriage house, barn, and spring structures were recently given a historic designation by the Heritage Conservancy of Doylestown, PA. The farmhouse is already on the conservancy's Registry of Historic Places. Tamanend Park includes picnic pavilions, building rentals, tennis courts, tot lot, gazebo, gardens, walking trails, softball fields, and picnic tables.

Tamanend Park: New Playground Equipment Upper Southampton Township recently purchased and installed new playground equipment at Tamanend Park (see photo below). The new equipment, purchased off the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's "state contract," meets the standards and codes for playground safety, and complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
