Franconia Township - The official website for the Township of Franconia in Northern Montgomery County

Forrest Meadow Park

The township earned a Site Development Grant from the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources in March 2000 to develop Forrest Meadow Park, situated at the corner of Fourth Street and Forrest Road. The grant was the first step in preparing the 28 acres for future use as both an active and passive park setting. A parking lot and half-mile trail were completed in June of 2007 and more work is under way. Read more about the project.
