Solebury Township has officially named its newest park and is inviting the public to provide feedback while enjoying free pizza.
The former New Hope Flea Market property on Lower York Road (Route 202), which is located between the former New Hope Star Diner and HG Wood Fired Pizza and Family Restaurant, has been named “Solebury Green” after some debate.
The name was made official after the Solebury Township Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 in June to approved Solebury Green.
The approval of the name came after a recommendation from the parks and recreation board.
To celebrate the new park and engage with residents, the township will host a pop-up event at HG Wood Fired Pizza and Family Restaurant at 6510 Lower York Road on Wednesday, August 14, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Residents are encouraged to attend, enjoy a slice of pizza, and share their thoughts on the park, officials said.
The 12-acre site was purchased by the township using open space funds in 2020 for $2.35 million.
Earlier this spring, the supervisors discussed several potential names, including Solebury Park, Solebury Commons, Solebury Green, Solebury Central Park, and Solebury Center Park. Ultimately, they decided to go with the recommendation from the parks and recreation board.
