Park Projects
Several entities have worked together to make improvements to the Community Building at the Burlington Park. These improvements have been accomplished over the past several years. The interior of the building was redesigned with new capet tiles, lighting and overall look, to be more modern and open. Kitchen rennovations were completed with new flooring, cabinetry and appliances. The exterior of the building has received a new roof and siding.
Burlington Township, Burlington Joint Park Board, Town of Burlington, Burlington Community Club and Building a Better Burlington, Inc., have been involved in providing financial assistance for these changes.
Grants from the Carroll County Community Foundation and Carroll White REMC Operation Round Up grants have also been utilized during these important improvements.
