The upgrades to Beechwood Park have been completed! We transformed the tennis courts to pickle ball courts and resurfaced the basketball court. These facilities are now open for public drop-in use daily from 6am to 11pm.
The Township has a new drive-up drop box! The drop box is located north of the Township Offices in the U-turn driveway off of 120th Avenue. This box is emptied by staff daily and is for payments, absentee voter applications, and ballots.
