Merry Place
Merry Place, part of the Haverford Township Department of Parks and Recreation, is located in Glendale Park and contains a playground and nature area. The park provides parking, shade trees, picnic shelter, and fishing pier. It has many features for children and adults, including play areas and a tree house accessible for all people.

Our mission is to educate and improve public awareness and acceptance of people and families with disabilities. This would include disability awareness programs in the community as well as inclusive recreational programs such as accessible wetlands, environmental education, music and art.
