Fresh Thinking

In addition to our rich history, Haverford Township is a vibrant community that is open to new ideas. Over the past 25 years we have had an influx of new residents who are higher-income, college-educated professionals  —  moving here or returning home to raise their families. 

Haverford Township has emerged with renewed vitality

and an updated look.

The development of Haverford Reserve in 2010 was a major accomplishment in the renewal of the Township. With the new Leeds Gold Community Recreation and Environmental Center, playing fields, our all-accessible Freedom Playground, a dog park, and miles of wooded walking trails, it exemplifies the changes that have occurred in the past two decades. 

Our new municipal and police building was completed in 2017 and renovations to our library will be completed in 2024. 

Many new civic groups have formed which have enhanced the beauty of the Township by planting trees, clearing trails, transforming parks, and planting new gardens.
