Trail Expansion Begins Today at Playwicki Farm

Feasterville Trevose, PA · July 13, 2026

Monday morning is here, and the heavy humidity of the weekend is finally taking a back seat to a much-needed breeze. If you’re heading out for an early walk, you’ll notice the first signs of construction equipment arriving at the park entrance.

📰 The Lead

The weekend heat saw record turnouts at the local swim clubs, but as the work week begins, the focus shifts to the dirt. Crews are arriving at Playwicki Farm this morning to begin the long-awaited expansion of the perimeter trail. This phase adds nearly a half-mile of stabilized gravel path, designed to connect the upper meadow directly to the wooded ravine.

For residents, this means some heavy machinery and restricted parking near the farmhouse through Thursday. The project, funded by a county open space grant, aims to create a continuous loop that avoids the notorious muddy patches near the creek. While the work is underway, joggers and dog walkers are encouraged to stick to the paved sections. The goal is to have the full loop walkable and ready for the first hint of autumn color.
