Shippensburg Memorial Park

— Statewide Local Share Account (LSA) Program Awards Funds —

On Thursday December 18, 2025 the Shippensburg Borough, in partnership with the Shippensburg Community Parks and Recreation Authority (SCPRA), was awarded LSA funds to make several improvements to the park.

The amount of $120,948 will go towards the cherished community space, which was dedicated to honoring local veterans in the 1950’s. The upgrades will include renovating two bathroom facilities, installing new security cameras, and upgrades to the basketball and tennis courts (which includes the addition of pickleball courts).

The project would not have been possible without the support of state leadership — with Senator Doug Mastriano and Representative Rich Irvin leading the way in advocating so this could be possible. Meetings were held with their offices and the plan discussed in great details, and they both worked to to help secure the funds for the historic Shippensburg site.

A full press release was announced on December 23rd with more details.
