POLO FIELD PROPOSAL UPDATES
Background
Haverford Township shares the use of the Polo Field with Lower Merion Township. Lower Merion is planning to change the nature of their usage of the Polo Field beginning in Spring 2024, swapping out some of the private school usages for public school usage during weekday afternoons for Lower Merion's new Black Rock Middle School in Villanova.
The need has arisen because the LMSD Black Rock site (1860 W Montgomery Ave) does not have enough space to accommodate the field requirements for the middle school's athletic programs and the LMSD's plans to repurpose two nearby parcels (1800 W. Montgomery Ave and 1835 County Line Rd) which were purchased for this reason in 2019 have been met with great resistance by the surrounding neighborhood.
This blog will be updated regularly and should serve as a resource for keeping Brynford residents informed about the status of this proposal.
