Parks & Recreation

Nether Providence is home to a number of attractive parks that offer active recreational opportunities such as baseball, soccer, and basketball, as well as passive recreational activities including walking, bicycling, nature study, and picnicking.

Natural Lands and Anne Toole Consulting prepared a comprehensive plan for Nether Providence Township, Swarthmore Borough, Rose Valley Borough, and Rutledge Borough in which they evaluated the recreational facilities and provided recommendations and opportunities for these communities. This plan will serve as a guide for these communities as they review their recreational resources. To view the final report, please click this link: CORPOS Final Report
