Help Shape the Future of Salisbury Township's Summer Playground Program!
Have your children participated in our Summer Playground Program—this year or in the past? We'd love to hear from you!
We're asking families to complete a short survey to help us evaluate the program and plan for the future. Your feedback will help us identify what's working well, where we can improve, and whether there's interest in extending the daily hours or the length of the program.
Whether your child attended this summer, participated in previous years, or has since aged out of the program, your input is important.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey here:
https://www.salisburylehighpa.gov/forms/salisbury-township-summer-playground-program-survey
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We appreciate your input and look forward to hearing from you!

🚧 New Traffic Control at the I-78/Summit Lawn Exit Ramp
You may have noticed new stop signs at intersection of the I-78 Summit Lawn exit ramp and W. Rock Road, as well as temporary signage at the entrance and exit ramps.
PennDOT recently installed the additional stop signs, creating a four-way stop at the intersection. After evaluating the location, PennDOT determined that sight distance is inadequate because of the sound barrier, and the four-way stop is intended to improve safety for motorists.
The stop signs will be uncovered and become effective on Monday. Please watch for the new traffic pattern and use extra caution as drivers adjust to the change.
In addition, PennDOT has informed the Township that ramp construction at the Summit Lawn interchange is scheduled to begin later in August. The Township will receive advance notice before work starts, and we'll share additional details with residents as soon as they become available.
Thank you for your patience!
