DID YOU KNOW? EXPLORING IS KEY FOR CHILDREN’S DEVELOPMENTPlaygrounds play an important role in the development of children. All children benefit from

exploring the four defined areas of developmental skills when at play. The four areas of

developmental skills are sensory, motor, cognitive, and social/emotional. Multisensory experiences

can be good because using more than one sense at a time helps to build the brain more quickly.

However, some kids with disabilities may need to break that information into smaller parts. Some may require additional

sensory input, others do better with less. Some may prefer to experience this input more frequently, others less frequently.

That is why it is so important for playgrounds – especially inclusive playgrounds – to provide a variety of developmental

options for kids to choose from. See page 31 for more information regarding the Playground Improvement Project!

AM PILATESStart your morning off with one of the hottest exercise trends! Pilates is incredibly effective at improv-ing muscle control, flexibility, coordination and strength. It’s the not-so-secret weapon of both Hollywood stars and busy moms, and the best part is that it’s appropriate for all ages and fitness levels. Anyone can do Pilates and see the benefits in a short amount of time. When you practice Pilates, you build strength and stability – especially in your abdominal, legs and back, improve your flexibility and reduce your risk of injury. Focus is on developing better posture, body control and proper breathing, while also reducing tension and strengthening your body. Leave class feeling Leaner. Calmer. Stronger.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT’S RENDERING OF THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE MUNICIPAL PARK “BLUE” PLAYGROUND

Together the Miracle League of Northampton Township, PA and Northampton Township have

embarked on a journey to expand the already popular ‘blue’ playground at the Municipal Park

on Hatboro and Bristol Roads in Churchville. Working with Landscape Structures, playground

experts in Inclusive Play, the Miracle League Board of Directors has strategically selected pieces

of equipment that will welcome children and families of all abilities to learn, play and grow

together. In addition, new surfacing, fencing and shade structures will enhance the experience.

Northampton Township received grants totaling $320,500 from PA State Agencies to assist in the funding of this

project. The remainder of the funds will be matched through fundraising efforts by the Miracle League.

If you are interested in learning more about the project or making a donation to support the purchase and installation

of new equipment so that children can play together without experiencing physical or social barriers, visit the website

at www.mlnorthampton.com. Questions? Call Nancy Opalka, Director of Parks and Recreation at 215-357-6800.
