The upcoming work will add a soccer field, create a pavilion, install bathrooms, place more off-street parking, add security cameras, install site lighting, and construct a walking path, Township Manager Randee Elton said.

Meco Constructors Inc., of Bensalem Township, was awarded the $1.38 million contract for the work, and Armour and Sons Electric, of Middletown Township, was awarded the $275,616 contract for electrical work.

Elton said the majority of the project is being funded by a federal Community Development Block Grant.
