| Sharon Grange Playground : |

In the Spring of 2010 almost $1700 was raised by area businesses and the residents of Clearview Estates and Chatam Woods. The money raised was used for adding and upgrading equipment at the playground on Sharon Grange Rd, which is owned by the Hopewell Area School District. The equipment was installed over the summer by the township, and it includes a new merry-go-round, new seats for all of the swings, and new chains that support all of the swings. |
