Maintaining a healthy balance of development and open space has long been a priority of Upper Macungie Township’s leaders. We are one of the few municipalities with our own Township Conservation Design Development Regulations, which mandates that a significant portion of any developed land must be maintained as open space for future generations. Approximately 20% (5 square miles) of township land is preserved.

At no cost to our taxpayers, the Township’s leaders have long made the acquisition and preservation of open spaces a guiding priority. These green spaces are evident in our healthful balance of recreational parks, forests and farm lands.

Today, we have more than three times the open land required by the Lehigh County Planning Commission…and we are adding more all the time. This commitment to preserving a significant proportion of our community as open space is a living tribute to our rural heritage which ensures a cleaner, greener environment for future generations of Upper Macungie residents.

Additionally, the parks and recreation department works to provide a plethora of oppportunities to community residents - camps, youth sport programs, adult programs, social outings, large scale events, etc.
