Parks and Recreation
Department Profile

In January 23, 2000 Lower Paxton Township officially opened the doors to the Friendship Community Center.  This facility addresses educational, health, recreational, and social needs; provides resources not otherwise available in the community or affordable to all income levels; is visionary, anticipating the Township's needs and programs for many years to come; accommodates families and citizens of all ages; looks good, is inviting and safe; and is affordable to operate.  The Friendship Community Center provides for both community services and recreational activities.  It generates revenues from reasonable user fees.  And, it allows for a fair allotment of time and space among various groups of people.

Our community requires efficient public facilities and effective public services for both overall quality of life and for the protection of public health, safety, and welfare.  The Lower Paxton Township Parks and Recreation Department works hard to provide sufficient leisure services to meet the needs of citizens of our community
