Shaler has been discussing park improvements and the potential addition of a recreation center for years. A questionnaire earlier this year came from recommendations by the Kiwanis Park Focus Group in May 2024.
The focus group considered options for changes to Kiwanis Park, including the addition of a community center where Jeffery Primary School had been. It recommended the township do a full study of the parks, leading to the hiring of OHM Advisors to develop a master plan.
