Leeland Park — Attraction in Whitemarsh Township

There have been some recent issues with the teens at the basketball courts listening to loud music with profanity.

They seem like good kids, so I reached out to the park and asked that a park attendant just have a friendly chat with them about minding their language in an area where small children are playing.

They were quick to respond that they will monitor the situation and have a polite conversation with the teens. Though they did provide the non emergency number for the local police, I would never involve law enforcement over some kids being kids. Especially when police officers are known to scare and unnecessarily escalate minor issues, just by their mere presence. That may not be the case in this town, but I have not lived here long. I would not want to risk traumatizing these kids over something as minor as bad language.

That said, I hope this will be resolved soon and we can all feel comfortable bringing our young children...

It looks well kept and inviting overall, but unfortunately the township or worker didn't make sure the bathroom was stocked with hand soap before a weekend in the spring, which I found odd. Proper permits were obtained to have a picnic there, so there was ample notice that the park would be used. This missed basic detail left the women of that crowd with no access to soap after using...

Quaint local park that's been here as far as I can remember. Well kept by the Whitemarsh Public Works Department. Playground equipment was being sanitized when we pulled up.Just enough things to let a toddler blow off some steam! Older siblings ....ehh,...
