$1 million in state funding awarded to Shenandoah Woods project

Grant will help transform former Navy site into public park

IVYLAND, July 16 – Today, state Rep. Brian Munroe, D-Bucks, announced that the Shenandoah Woods project will receive $1 million in state grant funding.

The funding will be used to help in the transformation of a former Navy Department residential site in Warminster Township into a regional public amenity, including play areas, interpretive trails, a pavilion and reforestation plantings.

“Shenandoah Woods is a tremendous opportunity to turn a long-vacant property into a place where families can gather, children can play, and residents can enjoy the outdoors for generations to come,” Munroe said.

Shenandoah Woods was a site for housing U.S. Navy personnel and their families to be close to the Naval Air Warfare Center in Warminster. It was decommissioned in 1997. Demolition of the blighted and abandoned site began in 2022.
