Whitemarsh Moves Closer To Trail System On Gambone Property

Whitemarsh Township is moving closer to transforming the Gambone Property into a comprehensive trail system, according to a recent Natural Area Stewardship Plan.

The 23 acre property, bordered by Cedar Grove Road, Hillcrest Avenue, Butler Pike, and Hector Street, was purchased by the township in 2011.

Ever since, it has been maintained as open space for the community. However, it has not been converted for recreational uses.

The study analyzed the feasibility of how to create trail networks that also allowed for the natural habitat to flourish.

Gambone is smack in the middle of a green corridor, as it is very near to other Whitemarsh parks like Cedar Grove, Kline Park, and Leeland Park.

Montgomery County’s Spring Mill Park is nearby as well.

There is no precise timetable for converting Gambone and constructing trails, but the study makes it clear that the planning phases are well underway.
