About Us

Avonworth Community Park is a collaborative effort of five municipalities: Ben Avon Borough, Ben Avon Heights Borough, Emsworth Borough, Kilbuck Township, and Ohio Township.

The Park was established as a summer camp for Joseph Horne Company employees. It was acquired by the five municipalities in 1966 and opened as the Avonworth Community Park in 1968.

The Park's facilities include a swimming pool, four baseball fields, the Kids Kingdom play ground area, picnic shelters, Miller Hall, the Pavilion, and the Mayernik Center.

The Park is owned by the Avonworth Municipal Authority and operated by the Avonworth Community Organization for Recreation and Development (ACORD) Board. The members of the Authority Board and the ACORD Board are appointed by the five municipalities.
