Rolling Hill Park Master Plan Citizen Survey

Welcome to Our Survey!

Lower Merion Township is currently developing a Master Plan for Rolling Hill Park. Its goal is to provide a guide for appropriate park uses and a long-range vision for future development and programming. If you visit Rolling Hill Park, and even if you do not, your input is a vital part of the planning process.

Rolling Hill Park is a 103-acre parcel containing streams, a dam, a large dog park, extensive woods, trails that are open to off-leash dog walking at certain times of day, a portion of the Township-wide Bridlewild equestrian trail system, a large meadow, and several historically significant sites. The site was owned by the Pew Estate until 1994, when Lower Merion Township purchased it with the intent to preserve it as a natural park for passive recreation.

Please take a few minutes to answer the questions below to help us understand how you use Rolling Hill Park. Note that the questions pertain to the park as a whole, inclusive of the upper park that features most of the park’s amenities and the trails in the lower park near Mill Creek.
