Penbrook Borough is pleased to announce the completion of significant improvements to Little Valley Park, symbolizing an exciting new chapter for one of the Borough's most cherished community spaces. For generations, Little Valley Park has served as a gathering place for Penbrook residents of all ages. Beyond providing opportunities for recreation, the park has long been home to the Borough's annual Summer Recreation Program, welcoming children ages 6 to 12 for outdoor activities, games, crafts, and educational programming each summer. The revitalization of the park ensures that future generations will continue to enjoy a safe, welcoming, and vibrant place to play, connect, and build lasting memories.

Week 3 of the Little Valley Summer Program wrapped up this week! Read more about what the campers were up to:
"What an incredible week at Penbrook Little Valley Summer Program! Our campers had an unforgettable time learning, exploring, and making memories with the Penbrook Police. The week kicked off with an exciting helicopter landing right in the middle of our park, where campers enjoyed an up-close tour! We also welcomed the mounted unit, who introduced campers to Stanley and Ranger while teaching them about caring for the horses and the important work they do. To wrap up the week, Sergeant Levine gave campers a hands-on look at police equipment and a special tour of a police cruiser. The fun continued with soccer with JT, exciting water games, slime making, and drawing their favorite camp memories."

Here's a recap of week two of the Little Valley Summer Program!
"What an amazing week at the Little Valley Summer Program! Our campers were on the move from start to finish with hands-on fun, exciting guests, and colorful creativity! They built fantastic woodworking kits with the Penbrook Lions Club, met the inspiring Coach Josh from the JT Dorsey Soccer Foundation, and discovered the power of healthy eating with UPMC Dietitian Mrs. Mallory. We also learned valuable eye safety tips from Mrs. Terressa of Vision Resources before wrapping up the week by creating bright, one-of-a-kind tie-dye t-shirts. Smile, learning, teamwork, and tons of fun made this a day to remember!"
