Parks & Recreation
Middle Smithfield Township has five great parks and jointly owns two additional parks located in Smithfield Township. Our parks have many amenities including a dog park, playgrounds, walking trails, rentable picnic pavilions, a community garden, and more. Hours are dusk to dawn for all of our parks. Parks are open year round, but winter maintenance - such as plowing parking lots - is not provided.
Find out more information about each of our parks:
Our parks have several facilities that are available for rentals including picnic pavilions located at Echo Lake Park and Resica Park. There is also a soccer/football field at Echo Lake Park and a softball field at Resica Park that can be reserved. Also, anyone interested in gardening can reserve raised garden plots at our Community Gardens.
If you would like to reserve a pavilion or field at one of our parks, download the form (PDF) that you can print and return to the township via email or by mail to 147 Municipal Drive, East Stroudsburg, PA 18302.

Middle Smithfield Township has an annual agreement with the Stroud Regional Open Space and Recreation Commission (SROSRC) for residents to use the Dansbury Pool in Dansbury Park at the resident rate.
To obtain pool passes at the resident rate vs the non-resident rate, Middle Smithfield Township residents must first receive a voucher from the Township. Vouchers can be obtained by coming to the Township office at 147 Municipal Drive, completing a short form, and providing proof of residence in Middle Smithfield Township. Residents then may take their voucher to the pool to purchase pool passes at the resident rate.
Middle Smithfield Township usually receives information about the current year shortly before Memorial Day and are generally available between June and August each year. Vouchers are not available until the current year's vouchers have been received from SROSRC. Vouchers are only valid for the year in which they were issued. Residents must obtain a new voucher each pool season.

Dansbury Pool is owned by the Borough of East Stroudsburg and managed by SROSRC. The voucher program is provided as a service to the residents of Middle Smithfield Township in agreement with SROSRC. Pool questions (including hours and rates) should be directed to SROSRC. Dansbury Pool is not located in, owned by, or managed by Middle Smithfield Township.
Middle Smithfield Township Parks & Recreation hosts several events throughout the year. These events include Eggstravaganza, Community Day, Trunk or Treat, Holiday Market & Tree Lighting, and our litter cleanup programs.
The Parks & Recreation Committee is a five person committee made up of Township residents who advise the Township on the parks and assist in planning of public events. The Committee meets the first Monday of each month at 6:15 PM at the Township building unless otherwise advertised.
