Enjoying the Autumn Equinox - a beautiful day! #KennettSquare #AnsonBNixonPark #WelcomeFall #GetOutside

A member of our board of directors stopped and took a moment to share these tranquil views by the water in the park. Come for a visit and share your view with us! #KennettSquare #EarlyMorningMist #AnsonBNixonPark

Have you seen the new receptacles around the ponds to dispose old fishing lines? Let’s all work together to keep our wildlife safe from getting tangled in used fishing lines. Thank you! ¿Has visto los nuevos receptáculos alrededor de los estanques (lagos) para desechar los viejos hilos de pesca? Trabajemos todos juntos para evitar que nuestra vida silvestre se enrede en líneas de pesca usadas. ¡Gracias!

There is a lot of work being done in the park to restore the trails that were severely damaged by recent storms. In the very near future, the park will have easier access to the Borough on a brand new trail! We hope you will visit and enjoy a walk in the park soon! #ParksandRecreation #AfterTheStorm #KennettSquare... #GetOutside See more

Spirit and musical integrity outweigh costumed replication for these folks, beyond the expectations for a typical cover/tribute band. Named for Steely Dan’s 1973 sophomore album, Countdown to Ecstasy has dedicated themselves to this music and to their audience of hipsters, old-heads and youthful seekers of truth. Gates open at 1pm and the show begins at 3pm. General admission tickets are $25, VIP tickets (including tables and chairs) are $40, and children's tickets are $15. Buy your tickets for this special performance today! https://www.etix.com//countdown-to-ecstasy-a-tribute-to-st
