The Chester County Association of Township Officials (CCATO) presented its 2026 Parks & Recreation Award to East Coventry Township at the November 12 Annual Fall Conference in Malvern. The award recognized the township’s work on the first phase of the Towpath Park Improvement Project.
Phase 1 brought a new parking lot, playground, trail system, and stormwater management improvements. The park reopened in March 2026, giving families a new place to play and visitors more ways to explore the riverfront. Towpath Park connects to the Schuylkill River Trail and offers access to the Schuylkill River. A new boat ramp and kayak launch are planned for a future phase.
CCATO congratulates East Coventry Township and recognizes Board of Supervisors Chair Catharine Small, Parks, Recreation and Conservation Committee member Karen Nocella and committee secretary Flora Kapp, and Al Gryga of Chester Valley Engineers.
