Murrysville Parks and Nature Reserves
Over the years, the residents of the Municipality of Murrysville
(MOM) have committed significant funds to provide excellent parks,
and to preserve open spaces. MOM offers a wide variety of public
and private park and recreation facilities. Over 1,300 acres of
MOM owned community parks, neighborhood parks and open space provide
numerous sports fields, and areas for enjoying nature while
protecting environmental quality.
Volunteers have spent many thousands of hours over the years to
improve and maintain the parks, reserves, and open spaces while
saving taxpayers' money.
