Organized recreation in Derry Township began with the development of Milton Hershey’s model town. He believed recreation to be as vital to our lives as housing and utilities. During the construction of the town Mr. Hershey established a plan for a public park and the Cocoa Avenue Plaza. The Cocoa Avenue Plaza was donated to the Township in 1978. The Township continues to place recreation as a high priority and strives to meet the recreational needs of an active community.
The Township of Derry Department of Parks & Recreation offers a wide variety of year- round recreational and leisure activities for all ages. The department provides many instructional programs fitness classes aquatics child development special interest programs and community events.

The Township of Derry’s philosophy in child care is that children need a safe relaxing and stimulating environment outside of school. They should have a variety of recreational activities to choose from as well as an opportunity to work on their own individual projects. At Kid’s Club and Summer Day Camp we encourage children to make choices for themselves and to respect the decisions and needs of other participants.
