Congressman Joyce Tours Antrim Township Community Park

Congressman John Joyce visited Antrim Township Community Park to tour the park with Township Administrator and Supervisors John Alleman and Fred Young III.

During the visit, Joyce learned about recent improvements at the park and offered his support. He also presented Antrim Township with a United States flag that was flown over the U.S. Capitol.

The flag will be displayed during the township’s Stars, Stripes, & Summer Nights celebration on July 31.

One highlight of the tour was the park’s new Natural Water Play Area. Joyce also met Chief Deputy Foy of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office and K9 Moose, who made a special appearance during the visit.

Antrim Township also recognized Parks Director Cheryl Walburn, the volunteer Parks Committee, the Parks Department and township staff for their work on park projects.
