Whistlestop Park Sports Courts Resurfacing Projects
Tennis court resurfacing at Whistlestop Park is complete, and the tennis courts are open. The basketball and street hockey courts are now closed as they receive a stone dust overlay. (9/28/22)
These maintenance measures will breathe new life into Whistlestop’s sports courts, resulting in safer and more attractive recreational amenities. Updates on this project will be posted to the Montgomery Township website and social media as they become available.
