Washington Township Park is excited to announce that Phase 1 of Murphy Aquatic Park (MAP) opened on May 28, 2022.
In 2019, the Township board purchased over 35 acres East of CR 625 E and 6 acres West of CR 625 E. The property is now developed into Murphy Aquatic Park. Washington Township Park worked alongside HWC Engineering and Veridus Group on this exciting and innovative project. One large focus of the project was inclusivity. This helps to ensure that individuals in the community of all needs and abilities can explore the amenities MAP has to offer. The park features an all-inclusive playground coming later this fall, trails, a connection to AJAA, an aquatics facility, large recreational hill, recreation pond, and native plantings. |
