Parks & Recreation

Organized recreation in Derry Township began with the development of Milton Hershey's model town. He believed recreation to be as vital to our lives as housing and utilities. During the construction of the town, Mr. Hershey established a plan for a public park and the Cocoa Avenue Plaza. The Cocoa Avenue Plaza was donated to the Township in 1978. The Township continues to place recreation as a high priority and strives to meet the recreational needs of an active community.

The Township of Derry Department of Parks & Recreation offers a wide variety of year- round recreational and leisure activities for all ages. The department provides many instructional programs, fitness classes, aquatics, child development, special interest programs, and community events.
