Malvern EAC Adds Stormwater Garden to Newly Renovated Park

Malvern Borough in Chester County recently cut the ribbon on improvements at Horace J. Quann Park.

The park, described by Chester County Commissioners as a treasured gem for the community, has an updated basketball court, baseball field, sidewalk, fencing, and trees.

The Malvern Environmental Advisory Council also added a rain garden to the park to help with stormwater runoff.

“The pandemic showed everyone how valuable open space is to a community,” DCNR regional advisor Drew Gilchrist said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

DCNR supported the renovations with a $92,500 grant. Funding came from the Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund.
