LIMERICK — With $50,000 in hand, the township’s parks and recreation committee is looking forward to adding a variety of new equipment to Manderach Memorial Playground [at Limerick Community Park].

“We wanted to get the best bang for our buck and we wanted to give the kids as much of a variety of stuff to play with,” as they could, Steven Krauss, the new committee chairman said Monday.
