RE: Montco 2040 Grant Application for Conversion of Twining Valley Golf Course
Dear Mr. Dureka:
As a team with athletes within Upper Dublin township, we fully support your township’s submission of a Montco 2040 grant application to assist with the conversion of the Twining Valley Golf Course property from a golf course to a park/preserve. While being built by the Upper Dublin community and with your residents in mind, the size of this site and the uniqueness of what is planned will be an asset for our cycling team and community as well.
Access to open space is the single most important factor contributing to the success of the SoMont Cycling Youth Mountain Bike Team. Similar to how we use open space, parks and trails in adjacent areas, we anticipate our team community will take full advantage of this new regional asset while learning skills at the graduated bike park, becoming immersed in the beautiful natural landscape, riding the mountain trails and exploring the natural playscape.
We are 40 youth athletes and over 20 coaches across eastern MontCo with the goal of getting #MoreKidsOnBikes! We applaud your vision and commitment to this evolved natural space.
Good luck with this exciting endeavor and we look forward to the grand opening.
Sincerely,
John Raisch & the SoMont Cycling Youth MTB Team community
